Improved error bounds for approximations to the stop loss transform of compound distributions. [PDF]
In the present note we deduce a class of bounds for the difference between the stop loss transforms of two compound distributions with the same severity distribution. The class contains bounds of any degree of accuracy in the sense that the bounds can be
