We consider the subject of approximating tail probabilities in the general compound renewal process framework, where severity data are assumed to follow a heavy-tailed law (in that only the first moment is assumed to exist). By using weak convergence of compound renewal processes to Lévy...

In this article, we build on Chernobai et al. [1]'s procedure for modelling left-truncated data via a compound non-homogeneous Poisson process. The contribution we make is that we modify the fitting process introduced so that it is systematically applicable in the context of data that is not...
