Those gazilions of credibility formulae

vendredi 10 avril 2015

So there are many different credibility formulae in exam 7, pulled together from different actuarial papers. Are some of them meant to be equivalent? Please somebody help me reconcile before I explode.



1. Hurliman Z=p/(p+t) is supposably the optimal Z* that minimizes reserve MSE.

2. Brosius LS credibility Z=bp, which should also be optimal as it's LS. Should it equal Hurliman?

3. Brosium Baysian Z=VHM/(VHM+EVPV). There was a similar thing in exam 5 also. How doea it compare to the "optimal" Z's above?

4. Verrall Z=sum(y)/(beta*phi+sum(y)), which looks somewhay similar to Hurliman... and is the part beta*phi equivalent to Hurliman's t??

5. Mack (2000) commented that benktander is better tham BF if Z*>p/2. Substitute in Hurliman's formula I get p+sqrt(p)<2, which is almost always true. Does that mean benktander is almost always better than BF?

6. There's also a Neuhaus credibility... why why why?



Counting down to exam day! Good luck my friends.
