We generalize model calibration for a multivariate Tweedie distribution to allow for censored observations; estimation is based on the method of moments. The multivariate Tweedie distribution we consider incorporates dependence in a pool of lives via a common stochastic component. Pools may be...

Systematic improvements in mortality dependence in the survival distributions of insured lives, which is not accounted for in standard life tables and actuarial models used for annuity pricing and reserving. Systematic longevity risk also undermines the law of large numbers; a law that is relied...

Stochastic mortality models have been developed for a range of applications from demographic projections to financial management. Financial risk based models build on methods used for interest rates and apply these to mortality rates. They have the advantage of being applied to financial pricing...

We study a multivariate extension of the univariate exponential dispersion Tweedie family of distributions. The class, referred to as the multi-variate Tweedie family (MTwF), on the one hand includes multivariate Poisson, gamma, inverse Gaussian, stable and compound Poisson distributions and on...

When two random variables are bivariate normally distributed Stein's original lemma allows to conveniently express the covariance of the first variable with a function of the second. Landsman & Neslehova (2007) extend this seminal result to the family of multivariate elliptical distributions. In...

This paper introduces a multivariate tail covariance (MTCov) measure, which is a matrix-valued risk measure designed to explore the tail dispersion of multivariate loss distributions. The MTCov is the second multivariate tail conditional moment around the MTCE, the multivariate tail conditional...
