Experience Rating of ARIMA Processes by the Kalman Filter
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 August 2014
Abstract
This paper deals with experience rating of claims processes of ARIMA structures. By experience rating we mean that future premiums should be only a function of past values of the claims process. The main emphasis is on demonstrating the usefulness of the control-theoretical approach in the search for optimal rating rules. Optimality is here defined to mean as smooth a flow of premiums as possible when the variation in the accumulated profit is restricted to a certain amount. First it is shown how the underlying model in its simplest form can be transformed into the state-space form. Then the Kalman filter technique is used to find the optimal rules. Also a time delay in information is taken into account. The optimal rules are illustrated by examples.
