                                 Lexis diagram in insurance
Lexis diagrams have been designed to visualize dynamics of life among several
individuals, but can be used also to follow claims’life dynamics, from the
occurrence until closure,

                                 Lexis diagram in insurance
but usually we do not work on continuous time individual observations
(individuals or claims) : we summarized information per year occurrence until
closure,

                  in life insurance                                     in nonlife insurance

individual lives or claims can also be followed looking at diagonals, occurrence
until closure,occurrence until closure,occurrence until closure,occurrence until
closure,

                                 Lexis diagram in insurance
and usually, in nonlife insurance, instead of looking at (calendar) time, we follow
observations per year of birth, or year of occurrence occurrence until
closure,occurrence until closure,occurrence until closure,occurrence until closure,

                  in life insurance                                     in nonlife insurance

                                 Lexis diagram in insurance
and finally, recall that in standard models in nonlife insurance, we look at the
transposed triangle occurrence until closure,occurrence until closure,occurrence
until closure,occurrence until closure,

                  What can be modeled in those triangles ?
In life insurance,
• Li,j , number of survivors born year i, still alive at age j
• Di,j , number of deaths of individuals born year i, at age j, Di,j = Li,j − Li,j−1 ,
• Ei,j , exposure, i.e. i, still alive at age j
(if we cannot work on cohorts, exposure is needed).
In life insurance,
• Ci,j , total claims payments for claims occurred year i, seen after j years,
• Yi,j , incremental payments for claims occurred year i, Yi,j = Ci,j − Ci,j−1 ,
• Ni,j , total number of claims occurred year i, seen after j years,




                                                                                   10

                          The log-Poisson regression model
Hachemeister (1975), Kremer (1985) and finally Mack (1991) suggested a
log-Poisson regression on incremental payments, with two factors, the year of
occurence and the year of development

                              Yi,j ∼ P(µi,j ) where µi,j = exp[αi + βj ].

It is then extremely simple to calibrate the model.




                                                                            11

                          The log-Poisson regression model
Assume that
                              Yi,j ∼ P(µi,j ) where µi,j = exp[αi + βj ].

            the occurrence factor αi                                    the development factor βj

                                         Additional remarks
Since we consider a Poisson model, then Var(Y |α, β) = E(Y |α, β). Note that
overdispersed Poisson distributions are usually considered, i.e.
Var(Y |α, β) = φ · E(Y |α, β), with φ > 1.
Further, the idea of using only two factors can be found in de Vylder (1978),
i.e. Yi,j = ri · cj . But other factor based models have been considered e.g.
Taylor (1977), Yi,j = di+j · cj where di+j denotes a calendar factor, interpreted
as an inflation effect.




                                                                               16

             Quantifying uncertainty in a stochastic model
The goal in claims reserving is to quantify E [R − R]2 Fi+j                       where

                            R=                  Yi,j is the amount of reserves.
                                   i,j,i+j>t


Classically, bootstrap techniques are considered, i.e. generate pseudo-triangles,

                                         Yi,j = Yi,j +          Yi,j · εi   ,j

then fit a log-Poisson model Yi,j ∼ P(µi,j ) where µi,j = exp[αi + βj ].
Then generate P(µi,j ) for future payments, i.e. i + j > t.

                      Lee & Carter’s approach of mortality
Dynamic models for mortality became popular following the publication of Lee
& Carter (1992)’s models. The idea is that if
                         # deaths during calendar year t aged x last birthday
     m(j, t) =
                    average population during calendar year t aged j last birthday
                                           log m(j, t) = αj + βj γt

                                     Understanding outliers
Outliers can simply be understood in a univariate context. To extand it in higher
dimension, Tukey (1975) defined the
                                                                n
                                                           1
                             depth(y) = min                          1(X i ∈ Hy,u )
                                               u,u=0       n   i=1

where Hy,u = {x ∈ Rd such that u x ≤ u y} and for α > 0.5, defined the depth
set as
                       Dα = {y ∈ R ∈ Rd such that depth(y) ≥ 1 − α}.

The empirical version is called the bagplot function (see e.g. Rousseeuw &
Ruts (1999)).

  • 2. Arthur CHARPENTIER, modeling analogies in life and nonlife insurance Agenda • Lexis diagam in life and nonlife insurance • From Chain Ladder to the log Poisson model • From Lee & Carter to the log Poisson model • Generating scenarios and outliers detection 2
  • 3. Arthur CHARPENTIER, modeling analogies in life and nonlife insurance Lexis diagram in insurance Lexis diagrams have been designed to visualize dynamics of life among several individuals, but can be used also to follow claims’life dynamics, from the occurrence until closure, in life insurance in nonlife insurance 3
  • 4. Arthur CHARPENTIER, modeling analogies in life and nonlife insurance Lexis diagram in insurance but usually we do not work on continuous time individual observations (individuals or claims) : we summarized information per year occurrence until closure, in life insurance in nonlife insurance 4
  • 5. Arthur CHARPENTIER, modeling analogies in life and nonlife insurance Lexis diagram in insurance individual lives or claims can also be followed looking at diagonals, occurrence until closure,occurrence until closure,occurrence until closure,occurrence until closure, in life insurance in nonlife insurance 5
  • 6. Arthur CHARPENTIER, modeling analogies in life and nonlife insurance Lexis diagram in insurance and usually, in nonlife insurance, instead of looking at (calendar) time, we follow observations per year of birth, or year of occurrence occurrence until closure,occurrence until closure,occurrence until closure,occurrence until closure, in life insurance in nonlife insurance 6
  • 7. Arthur CHARPENTIER, modeling analogies in life and nonlife insurance Lexis diagram in insurance and finally, recall that in standard models in nonlife insurance, we look at the transposed triangle occurrence until closure,occurrence until closure,occurrence until closure,occurrence until closure, in life insurance in nonlife insurance 7
  • 8. Arthur CHARPENTIER, modeling analogies in life and nonlife insurance Lexis diagram in insurance note that whatever the way we look at triangles, there are still three dimensions, year of occurrence or birth, age or development and calendar time,calendar time calendar time in life insurance in nonlife insurance 8

  • 10. Arthur CHARPENTIER, modeling analogies in life and nonlife insurance What can be modeled in those triangles ? In life insurance, • Li,j , number of survivors born year i, still alive at age j • Di,j , number of deaths of individuals born year i, at age j, Di,j = Li,j − Li,j−1 , • Ei,j , exposure, i.e. i, still alive at age j (if we cannot work on cohorts, exposure is needed). In life insurance, • Ci,j , total claims payments for claims occurred year i, seen after j years, • Yi,j , incremental payments for claims occurred year i, Yi,j = Ci,j − Ci,j−1 , • Ni,j , total number of claims occurred year i, seen after j years, 10
  • 11. Arthur CHARPENTIER, modeling analogies in life and nonlife insurance The log-Poisson regression model Hachemeister (1975), Kremer (1985) and finally Mack (1991) suggested a log-Poisson regression on incremental payments, with two factors, the year of occurence and the year of development Yi,j ∼ P(µi,j ) where µi,j = exp[αi + βj ]. It is then extremely simple to calibrate the model. 11
  • 12. Arthur CHARPENTIER, modeling analogies in life and nonlife insurance The log-Poisson regression model Assume that Yi,j ∼ P(µi,j ) where µi,j = exp[αi + βj ]. the occurrence factor αi the development factor βj 12
  • 13. Arthur CHARPENTIER, modeling analogies in life and nonlife insurance The log-Poisson regression model Assume that Yi,j ∼ P(µi,j ) where µi,j = exp[αi + βj ]. It is then extremely simple to calibrate the model, Yi,j = exp[αi + βj ] Yi,j = exp[αi + βj ] on past observations on the future 13

  • 16. Arthur CHARPENTIER, modeling analogies in life and nonlife insurance Additional remarks Since we consider a Poisson model, then Var(Y |α, β) = E(Y |α, β). Note that overdispersed Poisson distributions are usually considered, i.e. Var(Y |α, β) = φ · E(Y |α, β), with φ > 1. Further, the idea of using only two factors can be found in de Vylder (1978), i.e. Yi,j = ri · cj . But other factor based models have been considered e.g. Taylor (1977), Yi,j = di+j · cj where di+j denotes a calendar factor, interpreted as an inflation effect. 16
  • 17. Arthur CHARPENTIER, modeling analogies in life and nonlife insurance Quantifying uncertainty in a stochastic model The goal in claims reserving is to quantify E [R − R]2 Fi+j where R= Yi,j is the amount of reserves. i,j,i+j>t Classically, bootstrap techniques are considered, i.e. generate pseudo-triangles, Yi,j = Yi,j + Yi,j · εi ,j then fit a log-Poisson model Yi,j ∼ P(µi,j ) where µi,j = exp[αi + βj ]. Then generate P(µi,j ) for future payments, i.e. i + j > t. 17

  • 23. Arthur CHARPENTIER, modeling analogies in life and nonlife insurance Lee & Carter’s approach of mortality Dynamic models for mortality became popular following the publication of Lee & Carter (1992)’s models. The idea is that if # deaths during calendar year t aged x last birthday m(j, t) = average population during calendar year t aged j last birthday log m(j, t) = αj + βj γt (1) (2) (2) – Lee & Carter (1992), log m(x, t) = βx + βx κt , (1) (2) (2) (3) (3) – Renshaw & Haberman (2006), log m(x, t) = βx + βx κt + βx γt−x , (1) (2) (3) – Currie (2006), log m(x, t) = βx + κt + γt−x , – Cairns, Blake & Dowd (2006), (1) (2) logitq(x, t) = logit(1 − e−m(x,t) ) = κt + (x − α)κt , – Cairns et al. (2007), (1) (2) (3) logitq(x, t) = logit(1 − e−m(x,t) ) = κt + (x − α)κt + γt−x . 23
  • 24. Arthur CHARPENTIER, modeling analogies in life and nonlife insurance A stochastic model for mortality Assume here that E(D|α, β, γ) = Var(D|α, β, γ), thus a Poisson model can be considered. Then Dj,t ∼ P(Ej,t · µj,t ) where µj,t = exp[αj + βj γt ] Brillinger (1986) and Brouhns, Denuit and Vermunt (2002) 24
