Simulation of Ruin Probabilities for Subexponential
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the classical risk model with subexponential claim size distribution. Three methods are presented to simulate the probability of ultimate ruin and we investigate their asymptotic efficiency. One, based upon a conditional Monte Carlo idea involving the order statistics, is shown to be asymptotically efficient in a certain sense. We use the simulation methods to study the accuracy of the standard Embrechts-Veraverbeke [16] approximation for the ruin probability and also suggest a new one based upon ideas of Hogan [21].

Simulating Ruin Probabilities in Insurance Risk Processes with Subexponential Claims
We describe a fast simulation framework for simulating small ruin probabilities in insurance risk processes with subexponential claims. Naive simulation is inefficient since the event of interest is rare, and special simulation techniques like importance sampling need to be used. An importance sampling change of measure known as sub-exponential twisting has been found useful for some rare event...
متن کاملRuin Probabilities for Risk Processes with Non-stationary Arrivals and Subexponential Claims
In this paper, we obtain the finite-horizon and infinite-horizon ruin probability asymptotics for risk processes with claims of subexponential tails for non-stationary arrival processes that satisfy a large deviation principle. As a result, the arrival process can be dependent, non-stationary and nonrenewal. We give three examples of non-stationary and non-renewal point processes: Hawkes proces...
متن کاملSimulating Tail Probabilities in GI/GI.1 Queues and Insurance Risk Processes with Sub Exponential Distributions
This paper deals with estimating small tail probabilities of the steady-state waiting time in a GI/GI/1 queue with heavy-tailed (subexponential) service times. The interarrival times can have any distribution with a nite mean. The problem of estimating in nite horizon ruin probabilities in insurance risk processes with heavy-tailed claims can be transformed into the same framework. It is well-k...
متن کاملHigher-order Expansions for Compound Distributions and Ruin Probabilities with Subexponential Claims
Let Xi (i = 1, 2, . . .) be a sequence of subexponential positive independent and identically distributed random variables. In this paper we offer two alternative approaches to obtain higher-order expansions of the tail of ∑n i=1 Xi and subsequently for ruin probabilities in renewal risk models with claim sizes Xi. In particular, these emphasize the importance of the term P( ∑n i=1 Xi > s,max(X...
متن کاملWeighted Sums of Subexponential Random Variables and Their Maxima
Let {Xk, k = 1, 2, . . .} be a sequence of independent random variables with common subexponential distribution F , and let {wk, k = 1, 2, . . .} be a sequence of positive numbers. Under some mild summability conditions, we establish simple asymptotic estimates for the extreme tail probabilities of both the weighted sum ∑n k=1 wkXk and the maximum of weighted sums max1≤m≤n ∑m k=1 wkXk , subject...
