Orthogonal polynomial expansions to evaluate stop-loss premiums

Publication:2297085



Abstract: A numerical method is proposed to evaluate the survival function of a compound distribution and the stop-loss premiums associated with a non-proportional global reinsurance treaty. The method relies on a representation of the probability density function in terms of Laguerre polynomials and the gamma density. We compare the method against a well established Laplace transform inversion technique at the end of the paper.


The authors introduce a numerical method to evaluate the survival function of a compound distribution and the stop-loss premiums associated with a non-proportional global reinsurance treaty. Orthogonal polynomials are used to derive an approximation formula to recover an unknown probability measure from the knowledge of its moments.
