In the present paper, we study error bounds for approximations to multivariate distributions. In particular, we discuss some general versions of compound multivariate distributions and look at distributions of dependent random variables constructed by linear transforms of independent random...

We present an algorithm for recursive evaluation of the corresponding...

Evaluating risk measures, premiums, and capital allocation based on dependent multi-losses is a notoriously difficult task. In this paper, we demonstrate how this can be successfully accomplished when losses follow the multivariate Pareto distribution of the second kind, which is an attractive...

Prediction is a very important and not so easy task for an actuary. An insurance company needs predictions of the future claims in order to evaluate premiums, to assess its financial situation, probabilities of ruin, etc. Therefore, modeling the claims distribution is of great importance, but...

A multivariate distribution possessing arbitrarily parameterized Pareto margins is formulated and studied. The distribution is believed to allow for an adequate modeling of dependent heavy tailed risks with a non-zero probability of simultaneous loss. Numerous links to certain nowadays existing...

This paper is a follow-up of the study realized by Vernic (2014) on the aggregation of dependent random variables joined by Sarmanov's multivariate distribution, with accent on the particular case of exponentially distributed marginals. More precisely, in this paper we present capital allocation...

Assuming the multiplicative background risk model, which has been a popular model due to its practical applicability and technical tractability, we develop a general framework for analyzing portfolio performance based on its subportfolios. Since the performance of subportfolios is easier to...

In this paper, we consider Sarmanov's multivariate discrete distribution as counting distribution in two multivariate compound models: the First model assumes different types of independent claim sizes (corresponding to, e.g., different types of insurance policies), while in the second model, we...
