RPA pathwise derivative estimation of ruin probabilitiesq
نویسنده
چکیده
The surplus process of an insurance portfolio is defined as the wealth obtained by the premium payments minus the reimboursements made at the times of claims or accidents. In this paper we address the problem of estimating derivatives of ruin probabilities with respect to the rate of accidents. We study two approaches, one via a regenerative storage process and the other via importance sampling. For both processes we can apply the rare perturbation analysis (RPA) method for sensitivity estimation. We provide computer simulation results. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Sensitivity Analysis for Ruin Probabilities: Canonical Risk Model
The surplus process of an insurance portfolio is defined as the wealth obtained by the premium payments minus the reimboursements made at the times of claims. When this process becomes negative (if ever), we say that ruin has occurred. The general setting is the Gambler’s Ruin Problem. In this paper we address the problem of estimating derivatives (sensitivities) of ruin probabilities with resp...
متن کاملStochastic functional population dynamics with jumps
In this paper we use a class of stochastic functional Kolmogorov-type model with jumps to describe the evolutions of population dynamics. By constructing a special Lyapunov function, we show that the stochastic functional differential equation associated with our model admits a unique global solution in the positive orthant, and, by the exponential martingale inequality with jumps, we dis...
متن کاملA pathwise derivative approach to the computation of parameter sensitivities in discrete stochastic chemical systems.
Characterizing the sensitivity to infinitesimally small perturbations in parameters is a powerful tool for the analysis, modeling, and design of chemical reaction networks. Sensitivity analysis of networks modeled using stochastic chemical kinetics, in which a probabilistic description is used to characterize the inherent randomness of the system, is commonly performed using Monte Carlo methods...
متن کاملSome statistical estimation problems in ruin theory
Much research in ruin theory in insurance mathematics focuses on the behaviour of various quantities of interest, such as the probability of ruin or the ruin-time moments, for a particular risk model in insurance. In practice, precise knowledge of the risk model is available only via observed data. In this presentation, the problem of statistical estimation of the quantities of interest, given ...
متن کاملPathwise Coordinate Optimization for Sparse
The pathwise coordinate optimization is one of the most important computational frameworks for high dimensional convex and nonconvex sparse learning problems. It differs from the classical coordinate optimization algorithms in three salient features: warm start initialization, active set updating, and strong rule for coordinate preselection. Such a complex algorithmic structure grants superior ...
