Poisson credibility with a shape-three Pareto intensity

ID: poisson-credibility-with-a-shape-three-pareto-intensity

Let a fixed policy intensity have prior density on , and let annual claim counts be conditionally independent with Poisson distribution mean . The expected process variance is and the variance of hypothetical means is , so the Bühlmann credibility factor is . A total count gives the displayed credibility premium. By contrast, the Bayesian posterior density is proportional to on . Its mean is the ratio . For , that Bayesian credibility estimate is , whereas the affine estimate is .
