Numerical Method for a Perturbed Risk Model with Proportional Investment

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
In this paper, we study the perturbed risk model with a threshold dividend strategy and proportional investment. The insurance companies are allowed to invest their surplus in a financial market consisting of a risk-free asset and a risky asset in fixed ...

On the computation of upper approximations to ultimate ruin probabilities in case of DFR claimsize distributions

open access: yesStatistica, 2007
In the present note we consider the classical continuous time model of the collective theory of risk under the assumption that the claimsize distribution is DFR (decreasing failure rate) so that, according to well known queueing results, the ultimate ...

A Risk Model with an Observer in a Markov Environment

open access: yesRisks, 2013
We consider a spectrally-negative Markov additive process as a model of a risk process in a random environment. Following recent interest in alternative ruin concepts, we assume that ruin occurs when an independent Poissonian observer sees the process as

Optimal Premium as a Function of the Deductible: Customer Analysis and Portfolio Characteristics

open access: yesRisks, 2016
An insurance company offers an insurance contract ( p , K ) , consisting of a premium p and a deductible K. In this paper, we consider the problem of choosing the premium optimally as a function of the deductible. The insurance company is facing a

Supremum Distribution of Weighted Sum of Random Processes from Orlicz Spaces of Exponential Type with Continuous Deviation

open access: yesAustrian Journal of Statistics, 2023
The paper studies distribution of sum of random processes from Orlicz spaces of exponential type weighted by continuous functions, in particular, processes from spaces Subϕ (Ω), SSubϕ (Ω) and class V (ϕ, ψ) are considered.
