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...

Asymptotic tail probabilities for linear combinations of randomly weighted order statistics are approximated under various assumptions. One key assumption is the asymptotic independence for all risks. Therefore, it is not surprising that the maxima represents the most influential factor when one...
