Risk aggregation is a popular method used to estimate the sum of a collection of financial assets or events, where each asset or event is modelled as a random variable. Applications, in the financial services industry, include insurance, operational risk, stress testing, and sensitivity analysis, but the problem is widely encountered in many other application domains. This thesis has contributed two algorithms to perform Bayesian risk aggregation when model exhibit hybrid dependency and high dimensional inter-dependency. The first algorithm operates on a subset of the general problem, with an emphasis on convolution problems, in the presence of continuous and discrete variables (so called hybrid models) and the second algorithm offer a universal method for general purpose inference over much wider classes of Bayesian Network models.
