Asymmetric Density for Risk Claim-Size Data: Prediction and Bimodal Data Applications
A new, flexible claim-size Chen density is derived for modeling asymmetric data (negative and positive) with different types of kurtosis (leptokurtic, mesokurtic and platykurtic). The new function is used for modeling bimodal asymmetric medical data, water resource bimodal asymmetric data and asymme...

Summary: | A new, flexible claim-size Chen density is derived for modeling asymmetric data (negative and positive) with different types of kurtosis (leptokurtic, mesokurtic and platykurtic). The new function is used for modeling bimodal asymmetric medical data, water resource bimodal asymmetric data and asymmetric negatively skewed insurance-claims payment triangle data. The new density accommodates the “symmetric”, “unimodal right skewed”, “unimodal left skewed”, “bimodal right skewed” and “bimodal left skewed” densities. The new hazard function can be “decreasing–constant–increasing (bathtub)”, “monotonically increasing”, “upside down constant–increasing”, “monotonically decreasing”, “J shape” and “upside down”. Four risk indicators are analyzed under insurance-claims payment triangle data using the proposed distribution. Since the insurance-claims data are a quarterly time series, we analyzed them using the autoregressive regression model AR(1). Future insurance-claims forecasting is very important for insurance companies to avoid uncertainty about big losses that may be produced from future claims. |
