Asymptotically normal estimators of the ruin probability for Lévy insurance surplus from discrete samples

A statistical inference for ruin probability from a certain discrete sample of the surplus is discussed under a spectrally negative Lévy insurance risk. We consider the Laguerre series expansion of ruin probability, and provide an estimator for any of its partial sums by computing the coefficients of the expansion. We show that the proposed estimator is asymptotically normal and consistent with the optimal rate of convergence and estimable asymptotic variance. This estimator enables not only a point estimation of ruin probability but also an approximated interval estimation and testing hypothesis.
