Asymptotic Ruin Probabilities in the Cramér-Lundberg model has been widely studied when the claims have light-tailed or heavy-tailed distributions. However, it has not been studied for extreme values over some threshold. In this paper, we investigate the use of the peaks over threshold method, to construct a new estimator of the ruin probability for a risk process with heavy tails claims amounts with infinite variance for the stationary arrival claims in an infinite time. Our approach is based on approximating the sample over some threshold by the generalized Pareto distribution. We prove that the proposed estimator is consistent and asymptotically normal. The performance of our new estimator is illustrated by some results of simulations for some loss models and provides an extensive example application to Danish data on large fire insurance.
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.
