Survival analysis with STATISTICA
Kaderjáková, Zuzana ; Hudecová, Šárka (advisor) ; Hurt, Jan (referee)
Survival analysis is a separate statistical area. This paper discusses the~interpretation of basic concepts, principles and methods used and implemented in the software STATISTICA. First, we introduce censoring and ways of characterizing a distribution of survival time. We present Kaplan-Meier estimate of a survival function and also a method of mortality tables. Later, we discuss basic methods of comparison of the survival time distribution in two groups and their suitability for different situations. The paper also deals with application of the survival analysis methods in the financial sector, where we introduce Cox proportional hazards model. Finally, we apply theoretical knowledge to a real data set.

Modeling dependencies in claims reserving
Kaderjáková, Zuzana ; Pešta, Michal (advisor) ; Branda, Martin (referee)
The generalized linear models (GLM) lately received a lot of attention in modelling the insurance data. However, the violation of assumptions about the independence of underlying data set often causes problems and misinterpretation of achieved results. The need for more exible instruments has been spoken out and consequently various proposals have been made. This thesis deals with GLM based techniques enabling to handle correlated data sets. The usage have been made of generalized linear mixed models (GLMM) and generalized estimating equations (GEE). The main aim of this thesis is to provide a solid statistical background and perform a practical application to demonstrate and compare features of various models. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
