For , . Hence, for ,
Substitution into the defining moment-generating function bound shows that is sub-Gamma in the right tail with variance parameter and scale parameter .
For independent claim sizes with common expected value and variance , independent of the nonnegative integer count , the aggregate satisfies and . Its moment-generating function is wherever finite. These identities follow from the law of total expectation and law of total variance.
If and for some finite , the estimator satisfies almost surely. The dominated convergence theorem makes the population moment-generating function uniformly continuous on this interval. Parameter subintervals give function brackets whose endpoints are ordered exponentials and whose widths are the corresponding increments of the population mean. Apply the uniform strong law from finite L1 bracketing. Continuity in the parameter makes the supremum measurable.
