Calculation of aggregate loss distributions
نویسنده
چکیده
Estimation of the operational risk capital under the Loss Distribution Approach requires evaluation of aggregate (compound) loss distributions which is one of the classic problems in risk theory. Closed-form solutions are not available for the distributions typically used in operational risk. However with modern computer processing power, these distributions can be calculated virtually exactly using numerical methods. This paper reviews numerical algorithms that can be successfully used to calculate the aggregate loss distributions. In particular Monte Carlo, Panjer recursion and Fourier transformation methods are presented and compared. Also, several closed-form approximations based on moment matching and asymptotic result for heavy-tailed distributions are reviewed.

A Method ‘io Calculate Aggregate Excess Loss Distributions
The purpose of the paper is to develop a method of calculating the aggregate loss distribution of excess claims based on a formula described in the book Risk Theory by Beard, Pentikainenen, and Pesonen. This formula requires that the claim frequency distribution satisfy a certain recursive relationship. The first part of the paper shows that a claim frequency distributions of excess claims deri...
متن کاملStudy of Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity Variations in Different Aggregate Size Distributions in an Agricultural Soil
Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) is one of the most important soil physical characteristics that plays a major role in the soil hydrological behaviour. It is mainly affected by the soil structure characteristics. Aggregate size distribution is a measure of soil structure formation that can affect Ks. In this study, variations of Ks were investigated in various aggregate size distributions ...

متن کاملTransformed Beta and Gamma Distributions and Aggregate Losses
Distribution functions are introduced based on power transformations of beta and gamma distributions, and properties of these distributions are discussed. The gamma, beta, F, Pareto, Burr, Weibull and loglogistic distributions ares special cases. The transformed gamma mixed with a gamma yields a transformed beta. The transformed gamma is used to model aggregate distributions by matching moments...
