F71AH/PT Coursework Assignment-1 Project description
The insurance business in a single period can be modeled by a so-called surplus process (S)
defined as
S = μ ∗ n − Xi. (1)

In (1), μ is the constant premium rate and n is the total number of policies in this business;
N is a random positive integer for the number of claims and Xi is another random variables independent from N, describing the size (amount) of i-th claim. For a S with n = 100, it is believed that N ∼ Poisson(30) distribution and Xi are i.i.d. Pareto(100, β = 3) distributed with density
fX(x) = xβ+1 , (2)
where x > 100 denotes the claim size in £. Otherwise the density is 0. Your task is to estimate risk measures and other quantities associated with this portfolio over a period of a single year. (Hint: use simulation in question (1) for the estimations of other questions)
(1) Describemathematicallyanalgorithmwhichcouldbeusedtransformindependentsam- ples from a U (0, 1) distribution to generate samples from the above Pareto distribution.
(2) The insurer determines a premium rate μ = £60 in S. Use the R programming lan- guage to estimate the Value at Risk (VaR) and the Conditional Tail Expectation (CTE) at probability level α = 0.9. From the insurer’s point of view, use simulation to estimate a μ∗ such that the ruin probability is smaller than 1%, i.e.,
Pr(S < 0) ≤ 0.01.
(Hint: for the calculation of VaR & CTE, consider −S as the loss of the insurer, i.e. to
estimate VaRα[−S]).
(3) From a policyholder’s point of view (who is a rational investor), consider a client facing a truncated Pareto(100, β = 3) loss Y with upper bound 1000, i.e. Pr(Y ≤ 1000) = 1. Estimate the maximum premium μ∗∗ that he or she is willing to pay to purchase this insurance policy if the client adopts a utility function with form
u(y)=1−exp(− y ), 500
where y denotes the client’s wealth in £. The initial wealth of the policy holder is £1000.
Comparing with μ∗ in question (b), which premium rate would you suggest? Explain your answer. In particular, if it holds that μ∗∗ < μ∗ or μ∗∗ > μ∗, could you explain the motivation for this?
(Hint: 1. The upper bounded Y has density fY (y) = fX (y)/0.999, for Y ∈ [100, 1000] and fY (x) = 0 for Y > 100; 2. Consider insurer’s the pooling effect and the policy- holder’s level of risk averse).

Your findings should be presented in the form of a report, which should:
• have a clear and logical structure;
• includedetailofyourmathematicalcalculationssothatyourresultscouldbereproduced by another statistician;
• include clearly labelled and correctly referenced tables and diagrams, as appropriate;
• include the R code you used in an appendix (you do not need to explain individual R commands but some comments should be included to indicate the purpose of each section of code);
• include citation and referencing for any material (books, papers, websites etc.) used. Notes
• This assignment counts for 15% of the course assessment.
• You may have discussions with me or your colleagues, but your report must be your own work. Plagiarism is a serious academic offence and carries a range of penalties, some very serious. Copying a friend’s report or code, or copying text into your report from another source (such as a book or website) without citing and referencing that source, is plagiarism. Collusion is also a serious academic offence. You must not share a copy of your report (as a hard copy or in electronic form) or your computer code with anyone else. Penalties for plagiarism or collusion can include voiding of your mark for the course.
• Your report should be submitted through Canvas by 4th-March, 6.00 p.m., 2022. Assignments submitted late (but within 5 working days of the deadline) will have their mark reduced by 30%. Projects submitted more than 5 working days late will not be marked.
