Modelling Claims Run-off with Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods

Verrall, R. J., Hossjer, O. & Bjorkwall, S. (2012). Modelling Claims Run-off with Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods. ASTIN Bulletin, 42(1), pp. 35-58. doi: 10.2143/AST.42.1.2160711

Abstract

In this paper we describe a new approach to modelling the development of claims run-off triangles. This method replaces the usual adhoc practical process of extrapolating a development pattern to obtain tail factors with an objective procedure. An example is given, illustrating the results in a practical context, and the WinBUGS code is supplied.
