Ruin Probabilities for Erlang(2) Risk Processes1
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we consider a risk process in which claim inter-arrival times have an Erlang(2) distribution. We consider the in nite time survival probability as a compound geometric random variable and give expressions from which both the survival probability from initial surplus zero and the ladder height distribution can be calculated. We consider explicit solutions for the survival/ruin probability in the case where the individual claim amount distribution is phase-type, and show how the survival/ruin probability can be calculated for other individual claim amount distributions.

A Duality Result for the Generalized Erlang Risk Model
In this article, we consider the generalized Erlang risk model and its dual model. By using a conditional measure-preserving correspondence between the two models, we derive an identity for two interesting conditional probabilities. Applications to the discounted joint density of the surplus prior to ruin and the deficit at ruin are also discussed.
متن کاملThe density of the time to ruin in the classical Poisson risk model
We derive an expression for the density of the time to ruin in the classical risk model by inverting its Laplace transform. We then apply the result when the individual claim amount distribution is a mixed Erlang distribution, and show how finite time ruin probabilities can be calculated in this case.
متن کاملMoments of the Surplus before Ruin and the Deficit at Ruin in the Erlang(2) Risk Process
This paper investigates the moments of the surplus before ruin and the deficit at ruin in the Erlang(2) risk process. Using the integro-differential equation that we establish, we obtain some explicit expressions for the moments. Furthermore, when the claim size is exponentially and subexponentially distributed, asymptotic relationships for the moments are derived as the initial capital tends t...
متن کاملOn the relation between the order of claims arrival and the ruin probability in a nonhomogeneous risk process
Recently, Raducan et al. (2014a) obtained recursive formulas for the ruin probabilityof a risk process at or before claim instants under the assumptions that the claim sizesare independent, nonhomogeneous Erlang distributed, and independent of the inter-claimtimes (i.e., the times between two successive claims), which were assumed to be inde-pendent, identically distributed (i.i...
متن کاملTail Probabilities of Subadditive Functionals of Lévy Processes1 by Michael Braverman2, Thomas Mikosch
We study the tail behavior of the distribution of certain subadditive functionals acting on the sample paths of Lévy processes. The functionals we consider have, roughly speaking, the following property: only the points of the process that lie above a certain curve contribute to the value of the functional. Our assumptions will make sure that the process ends up eventually below the curve. Our ...
