In the risk theory context, let us consider the classical collective model. The aim of this paper is to obtain a flexible bivariate joint distribution for modelling the couple (S,N), where N is a count variable and S=X1+...+XN is the total claim amount. A generalization of the classical...

A new discrete distribution depending on two parameters, [alpha]1,[alpha][not equal to]0 and 0[theta]1, is introduced in this paper. The new distribution is unimodal with a zero vertex and overdispersion (mean larger than the variance) and underdispersion (mean lower than the variance) are...

Closed-form expressions for basic risk measures, such as value-at-risk and tail value-at-risk, are given for a family of statistical distributions that are specially suitable for right-skewed positive random variables. This is useful for risk aggregation in many insurance and financial...

This paper focuses on modelling the severity distribution. We directly model the small, moderate and large losses with the Pareto Positive Stable (PPS) distribution and thus it is not necessary to fix a threshold for the tail behaviour. Estimation with the method of moments is straightforward....
