Composite models have received much attention in the recent actuarial literature to describe heavy-tailed insurance loss data. One of the models that presents a good performance to describe this kind of data is the composite Weibull–Pareto (CWL) distribution. On this note, this distribution is...

In this paper, a new heavy-tailed distribution, the mixture Pareto-loggamma distribution, derived through an exponential transformation of the generalized Lindley distribution is introduced. The resulting model is expressed as a convex sum of the classical Pareto and a special case of the...
