Statistical estimate of the proportional hazard premium of loss under random censoring
Many insurance premium principles are defined and various estimation
procedures introduced in the literature. In this paper, we focus on the
estimation of the excess-of-loss reinsurance premium when the risks are
randomly right-censored. The asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator is
established under suitable conditions and its performance evaluated through
sets of simulated data.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1507.03178, arXiv:1302.166
Distortion risk measures for sums of dependent losses
We discuss two distinct approaches, for distorting risk measures of sums of
dependent random variables, which preserve the property of coherence. The
first, based on distorted expectations, operates on the survival function of
the sum. The second, simultaneously applies the distortion on the survival
function of the sum and the dependence structure of risks, represented by
copulas. Our goal is to propose risk measures that take into account the
fluctuations of losses and possible correlations between risk components.Comment: Accepted 25 October 2010, Journal Afrika Statistika Vol. 5, N9, 2010,
