Claim Dependence with Common Effects in Credibility Models∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several credibility models found in published literature have largely been single dimensional in the sense that the observable claims are derived from a single individual risk or a single group of homogeneous risks over a period of time. In the case where the additional dimension of observing different individual risks or different groups of risks are allowed for, the assumption of independence across the observable claims is often made. This is a matter of convenience and mathematical tractability, though in general, everyone agrees this may seem unrealistic. As such, dependence must be taken into account when modelling risks for assessing credibility premiums. In this paper, we introduce the notion of modelling claim dependence across individuals and simultaneously across time within individuals using common effects. The resulting model is then used to predict expected claims given the history of all observable claims. It is well known that this conditional expectation actually gives the best predictor of the next period claim for a single individual in the mean-squared error sense. We express this conditional expectation in the form of a credibility premium. We further give illustrative examples to demonstrate the ideas. ∗

Spatial Dependence with Common Factors: A Case Study of Growth in Iran's Provinces
The economic components of a geographic region, such as its economic growth, are influenced by the spillover effect of other regions’ economic components. In addition to these spatial dependences, there are common factors, such as oil price, that induce a correlation among the economic variables of the geographic regions. Thus, it is necessary to distinguish between the dependence created by th...
متن کاملRandom Shifting and Scaling of Insurance Risks
Random shifting typically appears in credibility models whereas random scaling is often encountered in stochastic models for claim sizes reflecting the time-value property of money. In this article we discuss some aspects of random shifting and random scaling of insurance risks focusing in particular on credibility models, dependence structure of claim sizes in collective risk models, and extre...
متن کاملOn Bayesian Mixture Credibility
We introduce a class of Bayesian infinite mixture models first introduced by Lo (1984) to determine the credibility premium for a non-homogeneous insurance portfolio. The Bayesian infinite mixture models provide us with much flexibility in the specification of the claim distribution. We employ the sampling scheme based on a weighted Chinese restaurant process introduced in Lo et al. (1996) to e...

Since a number of parameters, such as due dates, the amount of available budgets and the cost of opting particular routes, are imprecise (fuzz...
متن کاملExplicit ruin formulas for models with dependence among risks
We show that a simple mixing idea allows to establish a number of explicit formulas for ruin probabilities and related quantities in collective risk models with dependence among claim sizes and among claim inter-occurrence times. Examples include compound Poisson risk models with completely monotone marginal claim size distributions that are dependent according to Archimedean survival copulas a...
