(Jed) Frees, University of Wisconsin - Madison UNSW Actuarial Research Symposium 9 November 2006 University of New South Wales Sydney, Australia Wills, Valdez & Frees (UNSW/Wisconsin) GB2 Regression UNSW Res Symp / 20
2 Summary of talk Summary of talk Purpose of this paper introduce the flexibility of the GB2 family to model long-tailed claims. how to inject regressor variables to the distribution. early discussion of the empirical work done. Approaches to introducing covariates to loss models Construction and properties of the GB2 family of distributions contains 4 parameters some well-known distributions within the family Empirical work preliminary some future direction Wills, Valdez & Frees (UNSW/Wisconsin) GB2 Regression UNSW Res Symp / 20
3 Covariates Introducing covariates in loss models Sun, J., Frees, E.W. and Rosenberg, M. (2006) discussion of: Klugman, S. and Rioux, J. (2006) NAAJ paper on Toward a Unified Approach to Fitting Loss Models Possible approaches to introducing regressor variables: Normal regression models - some transformation introduced (e.g. log of response) Generalized Linear Models - exponential dispersion distributions (e.g. Gamma, Inverse Gaussian) Parametric survival models - e.g. Cox s PH model More flexible parametric distributions - regression introduced on the parameters Wills, Valdez & Frees (UNSW/Wisconsin) GB2 Regression UNSW Res Symp / 20
4 GB2 distribution - construction Construction of the GB2 distribution Let X Gamma(γ 1, 1) and Y Gamma(γ 2, 1). Then ( ) X 1/α Z = β is a r.v. with a GB2 distribution. Y Four parameters: α 0, β, γ 1, γ 2 > 0. Density function: f Z (z) = α z αγ 1 1 β αγ 2 B (γ 1, γ 2 ) (β α + z α ) γ 1+γ 2, for z 0 where B (, ) is the usual Beta function. Distribution function: ( (z/β) α ) F Z (z) = B 1 + (z/β) α ; γ 1, γ 2 where B ( ;, ) is the incomplete Beta function. Wills, Valdez & Frees (UNSW/Wisconsin) GB2 Regression UNSW Res Symp / 20

B (γ 1, γ 2 ) Mean: E (Z) = β B ( γ α, γ 2 1 ) α. B (γ 1, γ 2 ) Wills, Valdez & Frees (UNSW/Wisconsin) GB2 Regression UNSW Res Symp / 20

9 GB2 distribution introducing covariates Regression models for GB2 variables Assumption: x is a vector of m known covariates. Possible approaches: through the scale parameter β: β (x) = exp (θ x) through the shape parameter α: α (x) = θ x through both the scale and shape parameters simultaneously. Here, θ = (θ 1,..., θ m ) is the vector of regression coefficients.

10 GB2 distribution regression Regression through the scale parameter We have: Z x GB2(α, β (x), γ 1, γ 2 ). Define residuals R i = Z i e θ x i so that where R i GB2(α, 1, γ 1, γ 2 ). log Z i = θ x i + log R i QQ plot diagnostics: ( ( ) ) i 0.5 Q, r n (i) for i = 1,..., n where r (i) denotes the ordered residuals with r (1) r (n).

12 Empirical analysis data characteristics Data analysis We have a portfolio of automobile insurance policies from Singapore. detailed information on policies of registered cars, claims and payments settled. period: 1 January 1993 until 31 December 2001 (nine years in total). Data contains individual records of 1,090,942 registered cars with policy and claims information over 9 years from 46 companies. Policy file has 26 variables with 5,667,777 records; claims file has 12 variables with 786,678 records; payment file has 8 variables with 4,427,605 records. In each year, about 5% are recorded as fleet policies. For our investigation, we selected fleet policies from one company. Wills, Valdez & Frees (UNSW/Wisconsin) GB2 Regression UNSW Res Symp / 20
13 Empirical analysis possible covariates Possible covariates The calendar year ; treated as continuous variable. The level of gross premium for the policy in the calendar year - continuous. The type of vehicle: bus (B), car (C), or motorcycle (M) Cover type: comprehensive (C), third party fire and theft (F), and third party (T). The NCD applicable for the calendar year - rnaging from 0% to 50%, increment of 10%. No driver characteristics were included because only fleets considered in this initial investigation.
