In this paper we will show how to set up a practical bonus-malus system with a finite number of classes. We will use the actual claim amount and claims frequency distributions in order to predict the future observed claims frequency when the new bonus-malus system will be in use...

In this paper we study a class of Mixed Bivariate Poisson Distributions by extending the Hofmann Distribution from the univariate case to the bivariate case. We show how to evaluate the bivariate aggregate claims distribution and we fit some insurance portfolios given in the literature...

In this paper we study some bivariate counting distributions that areobtained by the trivariate reduction method...

For the construction of bonus-malus systems, we propose to show how to apply, thanks to simple mathematics, a parametric method encompassing those encountered in the literature...

A new definition of the exergy efficiency for two types of Sorption Heat Pumps (type I or conventional heat pump and type II or heat transformer) is presented. It is based on the concept of transiting exergy which permits the quantitative and non ambiguous definition of the useful exergy...

The reversed rectification heat pump (RRHP) is a novel type of absorption heat pump developed at Laboratoire des sciences du génie chimique (LSGC) in the research group of Professor Le Goff. The distinctive characteristic of the RRHP is that both the separator and the absorber are multi-stage...
