  • Second order Bayes estimators, being the main tool in second order optimal statistical theory, provide a natural basis for a new approach to the problem of the prediction of functions of expectation functional for members of an exponential dispersion family. A general formula, providing such prediction up to the term of the order 1/n, is suggested and the application to the problem of the prediction of the tail of distributions is demonstrated. The results are illustrated with normal and gamma claim sizes. The numerical experiment demonstrates the high effectiveness of the approach even for small sample sizes.
