Random shifting typically appears in credibility models whereas random scaling is often encountered in stochastic models for claim sizes reflecting the time-value property of money. In this article we discuss some aspects of random shifting and random scaling of insurance risks focusing in...

In this paper we discuss the link between Archimedean copulas and L1 Dirichlet distributions for both finite and infinite dimensions. With motivation from the recent papers Weng et al. (2009) and Albrecher et al. (2011) we apply our results to certain ruin problems.

Let {Xi(t),t≥0},1≤i≤n be independent centered stationary Gaussian processes with unit variance and almost surely continuous sample paths. For given positive constants u,T, define the set of conjunctions C[0,T],u≔{t∈[0,T]:min1≤i≤nXi(t)≥u}. Motivated by some applications in brain...

We consider a two-dimensional ruin problem where the surplus process of business lines is modelled by a two-dimensional correlated Brownian motion with drift. We study the ruin function P(u) for the component-wise ruin (that is both business lines are ruined in an infinite-time horizon), where u...

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...
