| Title | Application of bivariate discrete distributions to actuarial modelling |
| Participants | João Andrade e Silva, Maria de Lourdes Centeno (Principal Investigator) |
| Summary | In the last two decades, actuaries have used Generalized Linear Models (GLM), see Nelder and Wedderburn (1972) or Denuit et al (2006) to deal with many actuarial problems, like ratemaking or claim reserving. More recently dependence among risks has been one of the most popular subjects [See Denuit et al (2006)]. Dependence modeling has mostly been treated by the use of copulas for continuous data. However in insurance, dependence between risks is often due to the claim numbers. This project will deal with generalized linear modelling in presence of dependence between claim counts.
