This paper studies the approximation of extreme quantiles of random sums of heavy-tailed random variables, or more specifically, subexponential random variables. A key application of this approximation is the calculation of operational VaR (value at risk) for financial institutions, to determine...

empirical model on real data, the Danish fire insurance data. Our empirical model accomplishes two things. Primarily, compared … to the present literature, this paper innovates the fitting of Danish fire insurance data using a composite model with a … random threshold. Secondly we prove, by fitting the Danish fire insurance data, that for large insurance companies the …

In this paper we apply the idea of the WKB method to derive an effective single lognormal approximation for the probability distribution of the sum of two correlated lognormal variables. An approximate probability distribution of the sum is determined in closed form, and illustrative numerical...

There has been much work on the approximation of independent or dependent random variables. But we are not aware of any work giving exact results for the approximation of the sum of randomly weighted random variables. In this paper, we derive results for the randomly weighted sum of dependent...
