Asymptotic results for conditional measures of association of a random sum

Asimit, A.V. & Chen, Y. (2015). Asymptotic results for conditional measures of association of a random sum. Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, 60, pp. 11-18. doi: 10.1016/j.insmatheco.2014.10.012

Abstract

Asymptotic results are obtained for several conditional measures of association. The chosen random variables are the first two order statistics and the total sum within a random sum. Many of the results have confirmed the "one-jump"property of the risk model. Non-trivial limits are obtained when the dependence among the first two order statistics is considered. Our results help in understanding the extreme behaviour of well-known reinsurance treaties that involve only few large claims. Interestingly, the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient between the first two order statistics provides an alternative procedure to estimate the tail index of the underlying distribution.
