Question 3. (15 marks)
Consider the Crame´r-Lundberg surplus process
C(t) = c0 + pit−
N(t)∑
i=1
Yi, t ≥ 0,
where
• C(t) is the insurer’s surplus level at time t;
• c0 is the initial surplus;
• pi is the constant premium rate;
• N(t) is a Poisson process with rate λ; and
• Yi’s are claim amounts that are independent and identically distributed and
are independent of the above Poisson process.
(a) [4 marks] Assume that each claim amount follows the probability density function
fY (y) =

e−2y(3 + 4y), y > 0.

(c) [8 marks] Suppose
• Yi ≡ 1000 for i = 1, 2, 3, . . ., and pi = 1300λ;

Question 4. (20 marks)
The annual claims X1, X2, . . . for a given policyholder in an insurance portfolio are
known to be (conditional on the policyholder’s risk parameter Θ = θ) independent
and identically distributed with probability mass function
fX|Θ(x|θ) = (x+ 1)(1− θ)2θx, x = 0, 1, 2, . . . ,
where 0 < θ < 1. The (unobservable) risk parameter Θ is assumed to follow a Beta
distribution with parameters α, β, where α > 0 and β > 2.
(a) [2 marks] State the name of the distribution that has probability mass function
fX|Θ(x|θ) and identify its parameter(s). Hence, deduce that
E[Xi|Θ = θ] = 2θ
1− θ

Question 5. (12 marks)
Consider two random variables X and Y , where both follow exponential distribution
but with parameters α > 0 and β > 0 respectively. They are linked through the
Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern copula defined by
C(u, v) = uv + θuv(1− u)(1− v), u, v ∈ [0, 1],
where θ ∈ [0, 1] is the parameter of the copula.
(a) [4 marks] Explain whether the copula allows for possibility of independence
between X and Y .

(d) [6 marks] Assume that you know that the following three Poisson general linear
models (GLM) with the same link function, g(·), all fit the data well:
Model 1: g(µi) = β1xi1
Model 2: g(µi) = β1xi1 + β2xi2
Model 3: g(µi) = β1xi1 + β2xi2 + β3xi3 + β4xi4
The scaled deviances are given as below
Model Deviance
Model 1 72.23
Model 2 70.64
Model 3 67.13
Which model is the best based on the available information and the likelihood ratio
test at 5% significance level? Explain why.

Question 7. (13 marks)
The cumulative paid claims on a portfolios of insurance policies are given in the
following table:
Accident year Development year
1 2 3
2014 5,496 x 7,982
2015 5,162 8,028
2016 6,434
where x is a positive number.
Suppose the claims will completely run off in 3 years and the development factor from
development year 2 to development 3 is 1.04504. By assuming that the ultimate loss
ratio is 0.85, you have found that the Bornhuetter-Ferguson estimate of outstanding
claims at the end of year 2016 for accident year 2016 is 6,464. Determine the
numerical value of the earned premium for year 2016.
