Claims Reserving in Continuous Time; a Nonparametricbayesian Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
Occurrences and developments of claims are modelled as a marked point process. The individual claim consists of an occurrence time, two covariates, a reporting delay, and a process describing partial payments and settlement of the claim. Under certain likelihood assumptions the distribution of the process is described by 14 onedimensional components. The modelling is nonparametric Bayesian. The posterior distribution of the components and the posterior distribution of the outstanding IBNR and RBNS liabilities are found simultaneously. The method is applied to a portfolio of accident insurances.

Stable-1/2 Bridges and Insurance: a Bayesian approach to non-life reserving
We develop a non-life reserving model using a stable-1/2 random bridge to simulate the accumulation of paid claims, allowing for an arbitrary choice of a priori distribution for the ultimate loss. Taking a Bayesian approach to the reserving problem, we derive the process of the conditional distribution of the ultimate loss. The ‘best-estimate ultimate loss process’ is given by the conditional e...
متن کاملIndividual Loss Reserving with the Multivariate Skew Normal Distribution
The evaluation of future cash flows and solvency capital recently gained importance in general insurance. To assist in this process, our paper proposes a novel loss reserving model, designed for individual claims in discrete time. We model the occurrence of claims, as well as their reporting delay, the time to the first payment, and the cash flows in the development process. Our approach uses d...
متن کاملArtificial Neural Networks in Insurance Loss Reserving
In this paper we analyse insurance data using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)[1]. In particular, we use ANN for the problem of Loss Reserving. Loss reserving is the practice of estimating the future payments for the claims which have occurred on an insurance portfolio. A difficulty in forecasting future payments is that the time series of payments often depends on influences that are not obser...
متن کاملAccounting Year Effects Modelling in the Stochastic Chain Ladder Reserving Method
In almost all stochastic claims reserving models one assumes that accident years are independent. In practice this assumption is violated most of the time. Typical examples are claims inflation and accounting year effects which influence all accident years simultaneously. We study a Bayesian chain ladder model that allows for accounting (calendar) year effects modelling. A case study on a gener...
متن کاملIssues in Claims Reserving and Credibility: a Semiparametric Approach with Mixed Models
Verrall (1996) and England & Verrall (2001) first considered the use of smoothing methods in the context of claims reserving. They applied two smoothing procedures in a likelihood-based way, namely the locally weighted regression smoother (‘loess’) and the cubic smoothing spline smoother. Using the statistical methodology of semiparametric regression and its connection with mixed models (see e....
