FORECASTING OF CLAIM BY COMBINING PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS

Year 2018, Volume: 7 Issue: 3, 319 - 324, 30.09.2018

Abstract

Purpose- The purpose
of this study is to focus on forecasting the total claim distribution of
fire-disaster and transportation insurances by combining probabilities of claim
distribution using the data for 2014 and 2015.



Methodology- In this
study, the combination of Weibull and Gamma distributions of fire-disaster and
transport policies are discussed. By combining two different probability
density function (PDF), a single PDF is derived and thus it is aimed to provide
convenience in calculations.



Findings- Two
probability distributions were combined with mathematical methods.
As a result,
a single probability density function was obtained.
This
probability density function can represent the total claim distribution.



Conclusion- In conclusion, we used the data regarding
fire-disaster and transportation insurances for 2014 and 2015. Insurance firms
that offer these two policies to their customers need to determine their risk
taking into consideration the total claim distribution from the policies. Since
Weibull and Gamma distributions have a PDF, it is necessary to integrate the
multiplication of the characteristic functions for combining these two
distributions. The PDF obtained as a result of mathematical operations is the
PDF of the total claim distribution.
