We present several fast algorithms for computing the distribution of a sum of spatially dependent, discrete random variables to aggregate catastrophe risk. The algorithms are based on direct and hierarchical copula trees. Computing speed comes from the fact that loss aggregation at branching...

We propose several numerical algorithms to compute the distribution of gross loss in a positively dependent catastrophe insurance portfolio. Hierarchical risk aggregation is performed using bivariate copula trees. Six common parametric copula families are studied. At every branching node, the...
