Heterogeneous individual claims model

ID: heterogeneous-individual-claims-model

Each policy has an independent Bernoulli random variable of probability , and its independent severity has expected value and variance . Independent policies give and . Conditioning on the claim indicator proves the formulas. Keeping the policy label preserves the dependence between the occurrence probability and the severity law; replacing all labels by a single mixture is an approximation unless the relevant laws agree.
