Reinsurance Pricing of Large Motor Insurance Claims in Nigeria: An Extreme Value Analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Reinsurance is of utmost importance to insurers because it enables insurance companies cover risks that they, under normal circumstances, would not be able to cover on their own. An insurer needs to be able to evaluate his solvency probability and consequently, adjust his retention levels appropriately because the insurer’s retention level plays a vital role in determining the premiums he will pay to the reinsurer. To illustrate how Extreme Value theory can be applied, this study delves into modelling the probabilistic behaviour of the frequency and severity of large motor claims from the Nigerian insurance sector (2013-2016) using the Negative Binomial-Generalized Pareto distribution (NB-GPD). The annual loss distribution is simulated using the Monte Carlo method and it is used to predict the expected annual total claims and estimate the capital requirement for a year. Pricing of the Excess-of-loss (XL) reinsurance is also examined to aid insurers in optimizing their risk management decision in regards to the choice of their risk transfer position.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
