Unsupervised ensemble learning refers to methods devised for a particular task that combine data pro-vided by decision learners taking into account their reliability, which is usually inferred from the data. Here, the variant calling step of the next generation sequencing technologies is formulated as an unsuper-vised ensemble classification problem. A variant calling algorithm based on the expectation-maximizationalgorithm is further proposed that estimates the maximum-a-posteriori decision among a number of classes larger than the number of different labels provided by the learners. Experimental results with real human DNA sequencing data show that the proposed algorithm is competitive compared to state-of -the-art variant callers as GATK, HTSLIB, and Platypus.(c) 2022 The Author(s).

Claims modeling is a classical actuarial task aimed to understand the claim distribution given a set of risk factors. Yet some risk factors may be subject to misrepresentation, giving rise to bias in the estimated risk effects. Motivated by the unique characteristics of real health insurance data, we propose a novel class of two-part aggregate loss models that can (a) account for the semi-continuous feature of aggregate loss data, (b) test and adjust for misrepresentation risk in insurance ratemaking, and (c) incorporate an arbitrary number of correctly measured risk factors. The unobserved status of misrepresentation is captured via a latent factor shared by the two regression models on the occurrence and size of aggregate losses. For the complex two-part model, we derive explicit iterative formulas for the expectation maximization algorithm adopted in parameter estimation. Analytical expressions are obtained for the observed Fisher information matrix, ensuring computational efficiency in large-sample inferences on risk effects. We perform extensive simulation studies to demonstrate the convergence and robustness of the estimators under model misspecification. We illustrate the practical usefulness of the models by two empirical applications based on real medical claims data.
Multiple systems estimation uses samples that each cover part of a population to obtain a total population size estimate. Ideally, all the available samples are used, but if some samples are available (much) later, on...
