In risk analysis, a global fit that appropriately captures the body and the tail of the distribution of losses is essential. Modeling the whole range of the losses using a standard distribution is usually very hard and often impossible due to the specific characteristics of the body and the tail...

Multivariate mixtures of Erlang distributions form a versatile, yet analytically tractable, class of distributions making them suitable for multivariate density estimation. We present a flexible and effective fitting procedure for multivariate mixtures of Erlangs, which iteratively uses the EM...

In this addendum to Verbelen et al. (2015), we present several additional examples of the calibration procedure for fitting multivariate mixtures of Erlangs to censored and truncated data.The paper "Multivariate Mixtures of Erlangs for Density Estimation Under Censoring and Truncation" to which...
