Transformed Beta and Gamma Distributions and Aggregate Losses
نویسنده
چکیده
Distribution functions are introduced based on power transformations of beta and gamma distributions, and properties of these distributions are discussed. The gamma, beta, F, Pareto, Burr, Weibull and loglogistic distributions ares special cases. The transformed gamma mixed with a gamma yields a transformed beta. The transformed gamma is used to model aggregate distributions by matching moments. The transformed beta is used to account for parameter uncertainty in this model. Calculation procedures are discussed and APL program listings are included. The transformed gamma is compared to exact methods of computing the aggregate distribution function based on the entire frequency and severity distributions.

Study of Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity Variations in Different Aggregate Size Distributions in an Agricultural Soil
Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) is one of the most important soil physical characteristics that plays a major role in the soil hydrological behaviour. It is mainly affected by the soil structure characteristics. Aggregate size distribution is a measure of soil structure formation that can affect Ks. In this study, variations of Ks were investigated in various aggregate size distributions ...

In this research, modeling tree height distributions of beech in natural forests of Masal that is located in Guilan province; was investigated. Inventory was carried out using systematic random sampling with network dimensions of 150×200 m and area sample plot of 0.1 ha. DBH and heights of 630 beech trees in 30 sample plots were measured. Beta, Gamma, Normal, Log-normal and Weibull prob...
متن کاملEffects of Probability Function on the Performance of Stochastic Programming
Stochastic programming is a valuable optimization tool where used when some or all of the design parameters of an optimization problem are defined by stochastic variables rather than by deterministic quantities. Depending on the nature of equations involved in the problem, a stochastic optimization problem is called a stochastic linear or nonlinear programming problem. In this paper,a stochasti...

The purpose of the paper is IO develop a method of calculating the aggregate loss distribution for a policy covering excess claims over occurrence limit plus claims arising from the primary losses over an underlying annual aggregate. Usually. when working with losses from more than one source you would determine the aggregate distributions of each component and convolute the result IO get the o...
متن کاملMinimax Estimation of the Scale Parameter in a Family of Transformed Chi-Square Distributions under Asymmetric Squared Log Error and MLINEX Loss Functions
This paper is concerned with the problem of finding the minimax estimators of the scale parameter ? in a family of transformed chi-square distributions, under asymmetric squared log error (SLE) and modified linear exponential (MLINEX) loss functions, using the Lehmann Theorem [2]. Also we show that the results of Podder et al. [4] for Pareto distribution are a special case of our results for th...
