modeling insurance claims distribution through combining generalized hyperbolic skew-t distribution with extreme value theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
this paper examines whether combining generalized hyperbolic skew-t distribution, recently introduced in the field of insurance, and extreme value theory (evt) could result in a modeling of loss function that could model central value as well as extreme value in appropriate manner. the data used in this study are the amount of property damage and bodily injury covered under automobile liability insurance. in order to calibrate generalized hyperbolic skew-t distribution, expectation maximization (em) algorithm has been used. for modeling extreme value based on peak over threshold approach, the maximum likelihood estimation (mle) has been applied. results reveal that proposed combined distribution could model the losses caused by this type of insurance in a satisfactory manner.

The Generalised Hyperbolic Skew Student’s t-distribution
The empirical distribution of daily returns from financial market variables such as exchange rates, equity prices, and interest rates, is often skewed, having one heavy, and one semiheavy, or more Gaussian-like tail. The NIG distribution, that has two semi-heavy tails, models skewness rather well, but only in cases where the tails are not too heavy. On the other hand, the skew Student’s t-distr...
متن کاملA Two-parameter Generalized Skew-Cauchy Distribution
In this paper, we discuss a new generalization of univariate skew-Cauchy distribution with two parameters, we denoted this by GSC(&lambda1, &lambda2), that it has more flexible than the skew-Cauchy distribution (denoted by SC(&lambda)), introduced by Behboodian et al. (2006). Furthermore, we establish some useful properties of this distribution and by two numerical example, show that GSC(&lambd...
متن کاملA Flexible Skew-Generalized Normal Distribution
In this paper, we consider a flexible skew-generalized normal distribution. This distribution is denoted by $FSGN(/lambda _1, /lambda _2 /theta)$. It contains the normal, skew-normal (Azzalini, 1985), skew generalized normal (Arellano-Valle et al., 2004) and skew flexible-normal (Gomez et al., 2011) distributions as special cases. Some important properties of this distribution are establi...
متن کاملGeneralized Extreme Value Distribution and Extreme Economic Value at Risk (EE-VaR) October 2007 Generalized Extreme Value Distribution and Extreme Economic Value at Risk (EE-VaR)
Ait-Sahalia and Lo (2000) and Panigirtzoglou and Skiadopoulos (2004) have argued that Economic VaR (E-VaR), calculated under the option market implied risk neutral density is a more relevant measure of risk than historically based VaR. As industry practice requires VaR at high confidence level of 99%, we propose Extreme Economic Value at Risk (EE-VaR) as a new risk measure, based on the General...
متن کاملVolatility Modeling with a Generalized t-distribution
Beta-t-EGARCH models in which the dynamics of the logarithm of scale are driven by the conditional score are known to exhibit attractive theoretical properties for the t-distribution and general error distribution (GED). The generalized-t includes both as special cases. We derive the information matrix for the generalized-t and show that, when parameterized with the inverse of the tail index, i...
متن کاملModelling Extreme Temperature in Malaysia Using Generalized Extreme Value Distribution
Extreme temperature of several stations in Malaysia is modelled by fitting the monthly maximum to the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution. The Mann-Kendall (MK) test suggests a non-stationary model. Two models are considered for stations with trend and the Likelihood Ratio test is used to determine the best-fitting model. Results show that half of the stations favour a model which is l...
