In performing Bayesian analysis of a bonus-malus system (BMS) it is normal to choose a parametric structure, π 0 (λ), in the insurer's portfolio. According to Bayesian sensitivity analysis the structure function can be modelled by specifying a class Γ of priors instead of a single prior. In this paper, we examine the ranges of the relativities, i.e. δ π = E[λπ(λ|data)]/E[λπ(λ)], π ∈ Γ . We illustrate our method with data from [Astin Bulletin 10 (3) (1979) 274].
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.
