| 英文摘要 | The Berry-Esseen (BE) theorem of probability theory is employed to establish bounds on percentile estimates for compound-Poisson loss portfolios. We begin by arguing that these bounds should not be based upon the exact BE constant, but rather upon a possibly lower, asymptotic counterpart for which the Lyapunov fraction converges uniformly to zero. We use this constant to construct two bounds - one approximate, and the other exact - and then propose a simple numerical criterion for determining whether the Gaussian approximation affords sufficient accuracy for a given Poisson mean and individual-loss distribution. Applying this criterion to the cases of gamma and lognormal individual losses, we find there exists a positive lower bound for the minimum Poisson mean necessary to achieve a fixed degree of accuracy for losses generated by the best-case' individual-loss distribution. Further investigation of this best case' reveals that large minimum Poisson means (i.e. >700) are required to achieve reasonable accuracy for the 99th percentile associated with these losses. Finally, we consider how the upper BE bound of a tail percentile may be applied to a common practical problem: selecting excess-of-loss reinsurance retentions. |
