Multivariate claim numbers models
Zušťáková, Lucie ; Mazurová, Lucie (advisor) ; Cipra, Tomáš (referee)
Multidimensional frequency models can be used for modeling number of claims from different branches which are somehow dependent on each other. As in the one-dimensional case Poisson distribution and negative binomial distribution are primarily used for modeling multidimensional claim counts data, only they are extended to higher dimensions. The generalization of multi- dimensional distributions is often done using so-called shock variables, where one random variable is included in all dimensions of a random vector which models claim counts. The more comprehensive approach to modeling dependence uses copulas. Comparison of these models is done on a simulated data of number of claims from two different car insurance guarantees.
Mixed Poisson models for claim counts
Hauptfleisch, Filip ; Pešta, Michal (advisor) ; Hendrych, Radek (referee)
The thesis summarizes the theory of mixed Poisson models. Poisson distri- bution is one of the popular distributions in modelling count data, but its use is limited because it requires equidispersion. Because of this we introduce both con- tinuous and finite mixtures. From continuous mixtures the main representative is the negative binomial model, which arises as Poisson Gamma mixture, while from discrete models we deal mainly with zero-inflated models and hurdle models. For these models we use the maximum likelihood estimates of their parameters. In the end we apply these models to fit automobile insurance data from Australia, where we use MLE to fit Poisson regression, negative binomial regression and Poisson hurdle regression.
