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.
