A comparative study on modeling of dependence between claim severity and frequency with Archimedean copulas

Abstract

In the estimation of aggregate loss, claim severity and claim frequency are generally assumed independent. Although, the independence assumption is quite basic, it may cause underestimates or overestimates in calculations. The dependence in the estimation of aggregate loss can be included with the copula-based models. The joint cumulative distribution and the joint probability density functions of mixed variables such as continuous claim severity and discrete claim frequency can be obtained using the bivariate copula functions and the mixed copula approach. In this study, aggregate loss is modeled using the bivariate Archimedean copula functions considering the dependency between claim components. In the application part, the aggregate loss is calculated using different Archimedean copula functions. Different copula functions and different parameters for each copula are used to analyze the effect of copula type and parameter. Furthermore, aggregate loss in the presence of dependence between claims are estimated.
