Construction Claims: Frequency and Severity

Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 1985
There has been increasing emphasis in recent years on construction contract claims and disputes. This paper examines the frequency of occurrence of 427 separate construction claims which were experienced on 2 federally funded and administered construction projects. The data examined include various claim types, the frequency of their occurrence and the

Dependence Modelling of Frequency-Severity of Insurance Claims Using Waiting Time for Claim

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021
We propose a dependent frequency-severity model using a Gaussian copula. The copula links a latent variable of waiting time for the second claim with the claim severity. By assuming a log-normal distributed claim severity, we can analyze the effect of claim counts on the conditional expectation of severity. We propose a Monte Carlo simulation algorithm

Claims identification of patients with severe cancer-related symptoms

The American Journal of Managed Care, 2020
The goal of this study was to establish a claims-based mechanism for identifying patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) and high levels of patient-reported cancer-related symptoms who could benefit from engagement with health care programs.A cross-sectional survey of patients with mNSCLC was conducted from July 2017 to May 2018 ...

Claim Severities, Claim Relativities, and Age: Evidence from SOA Group Health Data

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009
The influence of age on Group Health medical claims is analyzed for a large data set provided by the Society of Actuaries. This data set comprises claims for the years 1997 through 1999, with a total claim count of about 4.3 million and total paid charges of approximately $7 billion. Using partial linear models that allow for the influence of age to be

Truncated gamma-truncated Weibull distribution for modeling claim severity

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2021
Modeling the data with a standard distribution is usually difficult to do because of the different characteristics of the body and tail in data. For example, Gamma distribution that has the right-skewing and light tail characteristics is considered unable to model the amount of claim that has a heavy tail.

Modelling catastrophe claims with left-truncated severity distributions

Computational Statistics, 2006
The authors analyze losses resulting from natural catastrophic events in the United States. They study the effects of data misspecification, under which the loss data available from a loss data base is truncated from below at a predetermined threshold level. The authors emphasize that such thresholds are often ignored in practice and this can result in

Bounds on contingent claims based on several assets

Journal of Financial Economics, 1997
Abstract In 1987, Lo derived an upper bound on the price of a European call option on a single asset. Lo's bound depends only on the mean and variance of the terminal asset price and is termed a semi-parametric bound. This paper derives similar semi-parametric bounds on a European call on the maximum of any number of assets. A distribution-free bound

A bivariate model of claim frequencies and severities

Journal of Applied Statistics, 2006
Abstract Bivariate claim data come from a population that consists of insureds who may claim either one, both or none of the two types of benefits covered by a policy. In the present paper, we develop a statistical procedure to fit bivariate distributions of claims in presence of covariates. This allows for a more accurate study of insureds' choice and
