13 Linear Bayes and MAP estimators in the EDF Bayes estimator is linear in observation Hence same as linear Bayes estimator Maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimator is mode of posterior distribution of observation In the EDF case may be shown to be equal to the Bayes estimator 13
14 Overview Fixed effects models Families of chain ladder models Maximum likelihood estimators Random effects models Bayes, linear Bayes and MAP estimators in the EDF Families of chain ladder models Bayes estimators for chain ladder Uninformative priors Bornhuetter-Ferguson estimators 14
15 Families of random effects chain ladder models Previously considered models were fixed effects models All parameters were fixed (i.e. non-stochastic) quantities Any fixed effects model can be converted to a random effects model by randomising its parameters Parameters subject to a prior distribution 15
16 Literature on random effects chain ladder models Chain ladder EDF Mack model EDF crossclassified model Gisler & Muller (2007) Fixed effects model Row effects Column effects Gisler & Wüthrich (2008) Random effects model Verrall (2000, 2004) England & Verrall (2002) Fixed effects Random effects Fixed effects Random effects England, Verrall & Wüthrich (2012) ODP Wüthrich (2007) EDF Wüthrich & Merz (2008) 16
17 Families of chain ladder models Two distinct families EDF Mack models Accident periods stochastically independent For each k, the X kj form a Markov chain For each k, j, E X k,j+1 X kj = f j X kj Distribution of Y k,j+1 X kj drawn from exponential dispersion family (EDF) with dispersion parameter φ kj X kj Distribution of g j = f j 1 from EDF, conjugate to distribution of Y k,j+1 X kj EDF cross-classified (ANOVA) models Y kj stochastically independent For each k, j, Distribution of Y kj drawn from EDF with dispersion parameter φ kj E Y kj = α k β j J j=1 β j = 1 Distributions of κ 1 α k, κ 1 β j from EDF, conjugate to distribution of Y kj In each model the prior distributions of distinct parameters are stochastically independent 17
18 Differences from previous models EDF Mack Gisler & Muller (2007), Gisler & Wüthrich (2008) Used variance structure of fixed effects Mack model Var Y k,j+1 X kj = σ 2 j X kj (2013) More general variance structure Var Y k,j+1 X kj = function of X kj 18
19 Differences from previous models EDF cross-classified Wüthrich (2007), Wüthrich & Merz (2008) Y kj a k b j ~EDF with location parameter θ k θ k a random parameter with natural conjugate distribution and location parameter 1 Only row effects are randomised Tweedie sub-family Location parameter = mean E Y kj = θ k a k b j E θ k =1 (2013) Y kj ~EDF with location parameter a k β j a k, β j random parameters, κ 1 α k, κ 1 β j each with natural conjugate distribution Both row and column parameters randomised Different distribution from Wüthrich & Merz 19
20 Overview Fixed effects models Families of chain ladder models Maximum likelihood estimators Random effects models Bayes, linear Bayes and MAP estimators in the EDF Families of chain ladder models Bayes estimators for chain ladder Uninformative priors Bornhuetter-Ferguson estimators 20
21 Bayes estimation for random effects EDF Mack model Generic result E μ θ y; m, φ, ψ = zy + 1 z m Bayes estimator for chain ladder (recall that f j is chain ladder age-to-age factor) f j = z j f j + 1 z j m j Observation = conventional chain ladder estimator chain ladder models Prior mean Credibility: depends on dispersion factors as usual EDF cross-classified model Generic result α k = Row sum β j = Column sum R k (α) z kj Y kj β j (α) + 1 z kj C(j) (β) z kj R k Y kj α k (β) + 1 z kj C(j) These equations are implicit Can be solved by iteration 21 a k b j Abstract location parameters of α k, β j
22 Bayes EDF cross-classified model Generic result α k = R k (α) z kj (α) Y kj β j + 1 z kj R k a k β j = C(j) (β) z kj (β) Y kj α k + 1 z kj C(j) b j Credibilities z kj (α), zkj (β) complicated functions Much simpler results are obtained for EDF subfamilies: Tweedie Over-dispersed Poisson 22
23 Bayes ODP cross-classified model Generic result α k = β j = R k C(j) (α) z kj (β) z kj (α) Y kj β j + 1 z kj R k (β) Y kj α k + 1 z kj C(j) Consider ODP (Tweedie case is similar and omitted here) α k = z k (α) Yk (α) + β j = z j (β) Yj (β) + Classical credibility form 1 zk (α) 1 zj (β) a k b j a k b j 23
24 Bayes ODP cross-classified model (cont.) ODP result α k = z k (α) Yk (α) + β j = z j (β) Yj (β) + Interpretation of terms a k, b j now prior means of α k, β j 1 zk (α) 1 zj (β) a k b j Weighted average of terms Y kj β j (which estimate α k ) Y k (α) = 1 Ykj φ kj 1 β j φ kj (α) (α) z 1 k = ψk β j φ kj Similarly for Y k (β), zk (β) Dispersion parameter of Y kj Dispersion parameter ofα k 24
25 Bayes ODP cross-classified model further simplification Y k (α) = 1 Ykj φ kj 1 β j φ kj (α) (α) z 1 k = ψk β j φ kj Assume φ kj = φ (which justifies chain ladder) Then Y k (α) = Ykj β j Simplest possible estimate of α k z k (α) = φ ψk (α) β j Familiar credibility ratio of dispersions 25
26 Overview Fixed effects models Families of chain ladder models Maximum likelihood estimators Random effects models Bayes, linear Bayes and MAP estimators in the EDF Families of chain ladder models Bayes estimators for chain ladder Uninformative priors Bornhuetter-Ferguson estimators 26
27 Uninformative priors Consider the previous case of ODP crossclassified model with φ kj = φ (chain ladder) Could have considered others z k (α) = 1 Informative priors Y k (α) = 1 + φ ψk (α) Ykj α k = z k (α) Yk (α) + β j = z j (β) Yj (β) + β j 1 zk (α) 1 zj (β) a k b j β j Uninformative priors Let ψ k (α), ψj (β) Chain ladder estimators for ODP crossclassified model α k = Y k (α) = z k (α), zj (β) 1 Total reliance on data β j = C(j) Y kj Ykj C(j) α k β j MAP = MLE 27
28 Overview Fixed effects models Families of chain ladder models Maximum likelihood estimators Random effects models Bayes, linear Bayes and MAP estimators in the EDF Families of chain ladder models Bayes estimators for chain ladder Uninformative priors Bornhuetter-Ferguson estimators 28
29 Bornhuetter-Ferguson estimators Still consider ODP cross-classified model with φ kj = φ (chain ladder) But results hold for EDF cross-classified model z k (α) = 1 Y k (α) = General results 1 + φ ψk (α) Ykj α k = z k (α) Yk (α) + β j = z j (β) Yj (β) + β j 1 zk (α) 1 zj (β) a k b j β j Forecast Particular results Y kj = α k β j = z k (α) Yk (α) + 1 zk (α) Special cases: a k ψ k α (uninformative prior) z k (α) = 1 Y kj = Y k (α) β (simple chain ladder forecast) ψ k α 0 (α k = a k certainly) z k (α) = 0 Y kj = a k β (Bornhuetter-Ferguson forecast) β j Random effects forecast is intermediate 29
30 Conclusions General results Fixed parameters in chain ladder models replaced by random parameters Gives credibility estimator which reduces to conventional chain ladder estimator in the case of uninformative priors EDF Mack model Results previously obtained by Gisler & Wüthrich (2008) for specific variance structure Variance structure generalised here EDF cross-classified model Previous literature introduced randomisation of row effects Randomisation of column effects introduced here Also different prior distribution Giving choice of prior 30
