An Expectation-Maximization Algorithm for the Exponential-Generalized Inverse Gaussian Regression Model with Varying Dispersion and Shape for Modelling the Aggregate Claim Amount [PDF]
This article presents the Exponential–Generalized Inverse Gaussian regression model with varying dispersion and shape. The EGIG is a general distribution family which, under the adopted modelling framework, can provide the appropriate level of ...

On the accuracy of phase-type approximations of heavy-tailed risk models [PDF]
Numerical evaluation of ruin probabilities in the classical risk model is an important problem. If claim sizes are heavy-tailed, then such evaluations are challenging. To overcome this, an attractive way is to approximate the claim sizes with a phase-type distribution.

Consider an insurance risk model with arbitrary dependence structures between the claim sizes. Suppose that the risky investment in the insurer can be established by the Cox–Ingersoll–Ross model.

Bayesian optimal investment and reinsurance with dependent financial and insurance risks [PDF]
Major events like natural catastrophes or the COVID-19 crisis have impact both on the financial market and on claim arrival intensities and claim sizes of insurers. Thus, when optimal investment and reinsurance strategies have to be determined it is important to consider models which reflect this dependence.

Deep Quantile and Deep Composite Model Regression [PDF]
A main difficulty in actuarial claim size modeling is that there is no simple off-the-shelf distribution that simultaneously provides a good distributional model for the main body and the tail of the data. In particular, covariates may have different effects for small and for large claim sizes.

Ein neuer Ansatz zur Frequenzmodellierung im Versicherungswesen (A new Approach to frequency modeling in risk theory) [PDF]
The collective risk model differentiates usually between claims frequencies (and their distribution) and claim sizes (and their distribution). For the claims frequencies typically classical discrete distributions are considered, such as Binomial-, Negative binomial- or Poisson distributions.

Mixed fractional Risk Process [PDF]
In this paper, we introduce a risk process, namely, the mixed fractional risk process (MFRP) in which the number of claims in the associated claim process are modelled using the mixed fractional Poisson process (MFPP). The covariance structure of the MFRP is studied and its long-range dependence property has been established.

On some compound distributions with Borel summands [PDF]
The generalized Poisson distribution is well known to be a compound Poisson distribution with Borel summands. As a generalization we present closed formulas for compound Bartlett and Delaporte distributions with Borel summands and a recursive structure for certain compound shifted Delaporte mixtures with Borel summands.

SPLICE: A Synthetic Paid Loss and Incurred Cost Experience Simulator [PDF]
In this paper, we first introduce a simulator of cases estimates of incurred losses, called `SPLICE` (Synthetic Paid Loss and Incurred Cost Experience). In three modules, case estimates are simulated in continuous time, and a record is output for each individual claim.

Alternative modelling and inference methods for claim size distributions [PDF]
The upper tail of a claim size distribution of a property line of business is frequently modelled by Pareto distribution. However, the upper tail does not need to be Pareto distributed, extraordinary shapes are possible. Here, the opportunities for the modelling of loss distributions are extended. The basic idea is the adjustment of a base distribution
