Sundt and Jewell have shown that a nondegenerate claim number distribution Q = {q n } n∈N 0 satisfies the recursionq n for all n ∈ N 0 if and only if Q is a binomial, Poisson or negativebinomial distribution. This recursion is of interest since it yields a recursion for the aggregate claims distribution in the collective model of risk theory when the claim size distribution is integer-valued as well. A similar characterization of claim number distributions satisfying the above recursion for all n ∈ N 0 with n ≥ 1 has been obtained by Willmot. In the present paper we extend these results and the subsequent recursion for the aggregate claims distribution to the case where the recursion holds for all n ∈ N 0 with n ≥ k for arbitrary k ∈ N 0 . Our result are of interest in catastrophe excess-of-loss reinsurance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
