Applications of Resampling Methods in Actuarial Practice

چکیده
Actuarial analysis can be viewed as the process of studying profitability and solvency of an insurance firm under a realistic and integrated model of key input random variables such as loss frequency and severity, expenses, reinsurance, interest and inflation rates, and asset defaults. Traditional models of input variables have generally fitted parameters for a predetermined family of probability distributions. In this paper we discuss applications of some modern methods of non-parametric statistics to modeling loss distributions, and possibilities of using them for modeling other input variables for the purpose of arriving at an integrated company model. Several examples of inference about the severity of loss, loss distributions percentiles and other related quantities based on data smoothing, bootstrap estimates of standard error and bootstrap confidence intervals are presented. The examples are based on reallife auto injury claim data and the accuracy of our methods is compared with that of standard techniques. Model adjustment for inflation and bootstrap techniques based on the Kaplan–Meier estimator, useful in the presence of policies limits (censored losses), are also considered.

Emerging Applications of the Resampling Methods in Actuarial Models
Uncertainty of insurance liabilities has always been the key issue in actuarial theory and practice. This is represented for instance by study and modeling of mortality in life insurance and loss distributions in traditional actuarial science. These models have evolved from early simple deterministic calculations to more sophisticated, probabilistic ones. Such probabilistic models have been tra...

Background and Objectives: A small sample size can influence the results of statistical analysis. A reduction in the sample size may happen due to different reasons, such as loss of information, i.e. existing missing value in some variables. This study aimed to apply bootstrap and jackknife resampling methods in survival analysis of thalassemia major patients. Methods: In this historical coh...
متن کاملThe Exponentiated Poisson-Lindley Distribution; Features and Applications in Reliability
Abstract. In this paper a new three-parameter lifetime distribution named “the Exponentialed Lindley-Poisson (E-LP) distribution” has been suggested that it has an increasing, decreasing and invers bathtube hazard rate depending on the parameter values. The (E-LP) distribution has applications in economics, actuarial modeling, reliability modeling, lifetime and queuing problems and biological ...
