ID: compound-binomial-distribution
For an independent binomial distribution count , the aggregate can also be represented as , with independent parameter- Bernoulli random variables and independent claim sizes. Its cumulant-generating function is . Its third cumulant is in severity moments. Constant positive claims give , which is negative when . Thus positive claim sizes do not by themselves force a positive third central moment.
