Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new model by adding an additional parameter to the baseline distributions for modeling claim and risk data used in actuarial and financial studies. The new model is called alpha power transformed exponential Poisson model. It has three parameters and its probability density function can be skewed and unimodal. Several distributional properties of the proposed model such as reliability, hazard rate, quantile and moments are established. Estimation of the unknown parameters based on maximum likelihood estimation are derived and risk measures such as value at risk and tail value at risk are computed. Moreover, the performance of these measures is illustrated via numerical simulation experiments. Finally, two real data sets of insurance losses are analyzed to check the potential of the proposed model among some of the existing models.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Data Science (ADS) publishes cutting-edge research findings, experimental results and case studies of data science. Although Data Science is regarded as an interdisciplinary field of using mathematics, statistics, databases, data mining, high-performance computing, knowledge management and virtualization to discover knowledge from Big Data, it should have its own scientific contents, such as axioms, laws and rules, which are fundamentally important for experts in different fields to explore their own interests from Big Data. ADS encourages contributors to address such challenging problems at this exchange platform. At present, how to discover knowledge from heterogeneous data under Big Data environment needs to be addressed. ADS is a series of volumes edited by either the editorial office or guest editors. Guest editors will be responsible for call-for-papers and the review process for high-quality contributions in their volumes.
