7 Bayesian setup for random change-point Brownian framework with abrupt change in the drift Based on the conditional distribution of the time of change, Formulated as an optimal stopping problem Page(1954), Shiryaev(1963), Roberts(1966), Beibel(1988), Moustakides (4), and many others... Poisson framework with abrupt change in intensity Based on the conditional distribution of the time of change, with exponential or geometric prior distribution More recent studies : Gal (1971), Gapeev (5), Bayraktar (5, 6), Dayanik (6) for compound Poisson, Peskir, Shyriaev(9) and others 9/38 Nicole El Karoui Tunis CREMMA

8 Mathematical settings We consider a portfolio of insured population: Let N = (N t ) t be a counting process indicating the deaths of policyholders and λ = (λ t ) t its intensity. The counting process N t, is available sequentially through the filtration F t = σ{n s, < s t}. We suppose that the insurance company relies on a Cox-like model to project her own experienced mortality: λ t = ρλ t, λ t is a reference intensity and ρ is a positive parameter. λ is considered deterministic and may refer whether to a projection of national population/best estimate... Model risk/parameter uncertainty: Change-point λ t = 1 {t<θ} ρλ t + 1 {t θ} ρλ t. Without loss of generality we can assume that ρ = 1 and let ρ = ρ > 1. 3 / 18

9 Probabilistic formulation Let P θ (resp. E θ [ ]) be the probability measure (resp. expectation) induced when the change takes place at time θ Example For θ =, the process is out-of-control For θ =, the process is in-control Detect the change-point θ as quick as possible while avoiding false alarms Optimality Criteria, Lorden (1971)-like [ ] The detection delay E θ (N τ N θ ) + Fθ The frequency of false alarm E [N τ ] 4 / 18

10 Optimization Problem Optimization Problem Find τ such that C(τ ) = inf τ sup θ [, ] ess supe θ [ (N τ N θ ) + Fθ ] subject to E [N τ ] = ω. Assumption t 1 λ sds <, P, P -a.s. 2 N = P, P -a.s. 5 / 18

11 Optimality of the Cusum procedure (1/7) Let the Radon-Nikodym density of P with respect to P be defined as dp dp Ft = exp U t, where U t = log(ρ)n t + (1 ρ) t λ s ds is the log-likelihood ratio. Let V (x) be the cusum process; with head-start x < m; defined as V t (x) = U t ( x) U t (1) where U t is the running infimum of U, i.e. U t = inf s t U s. The process V (x) measures the size of the drawup, comparing the present value of the process U to its historical infimum U. Let τ m (x) be the fist hitting time of V (x) of the barrier m, i.e. Theorem τ m (x) = inf{t, V t (x) m}. If E [N τm()] = ω then τ m () is optimal, i.e. inf τ C(τ) = C(τ m ()) 6 / 18

14 Detection Procedure Algorithm Step 1: Fix the input parameters: The post-change intensity through the specification of ρ and the false alarm constraint ω. Step 2: Determine the threshold m as the solution of the equation E [N τm ] = ω. Step 3: For each new observation at time t compute the value of the CUSUM process V given by the iterative relation V t+1 = (V t 1 + U t ) +. Step 4: Compare the current value of V to the threshold m and stop the procedure once V t m and sound an alarm. Hence τ m () = t. 13 / 18

15 Detection Procedure Real World (1/4) We consider the Continuous Mortality Investigation assured lives dataset and England & Wales national population. We split data into two periods: We consider the period as a training period. The Cox model is estimated over this period using the MLE. Hence we monitor the sequentially the dataset over the period and look for changes on the mortality of assured lives. 14 / 18
