Core Workflows

核心工作流程

1. Problem framing (ASTAM-aligned)

1. 问题框架搭建(符合ASTAM标准)

Before fitting distributions:
  1. Horizon — Short-term (annual or shorter); accident vs calendar year; prospective period for pricing
  2. Random variables — Severity (X), frequency (N), aggregate (S=\sum X_i); clarify i.i.d. assumptions
  3. Data grain — Claim-level vs policy-period; censoring/truncation (deductibles, limits)
  4. Deliverable — Model spec, parameter estimates, diagnostics, business interpretation—not filing sign-off
  5. Peer execution — Route spreadsheet builds and filing exhibits to
    actuarial-analyst
See
references/astam_scope_and_principles.md
.
拟合分布前:
  1. 时间范围 — 短期(年度或更短);事故年 vs 日历年度;定价的前瞻周期
  2. 随机变量 — 损失程度(X)、发生频率(N)、总损失(S=\sum X_i);明确独立同分布假设
  3. 数据粒度 — 赔案级 vs 保单周期级;删失/截断(免赔额、赔偿限额)
  4. 交付成果 — 模型规格、参数估计、诊断结果、业务解读——而非申报签字文件
  5. 协作执行 — 将电子表格构建与申报展示材料转交
    actuarial-analyst

references/astam_scope_and_principles.md

2. Severity and frequency modeling

2. 损失程度与发生频率建模

  1. Explore severity empirical tail; candidate families (exponential, gamma, lognormal, Pareto, generalized Pareto for tail)
  2. Explore frequency dispersion; test Poisson vs negative binomial vs mixtures
  3. Document moments, tail indices, and parameter stability across segments
  4. State dependence assumptions (usually independence for standard compound model; flag if copula needed → escalate)
  5. Summarize model selection criteria (AIC/BIC, Anderson–Darling, QQ plots)—not a single automatic pick
See
references/severity_and_frequency_models.md
.
  1. 探索损失程度的经验尾部;候选分布族(指数分布、伽马分布、对数正态分布、帕累托分布、用于尾部的广义帕累托分布)
  2. 探索发生频率的离散程度;检验泊松分布 vs 负二项分布 vs 混合分布
  3. 记录、尾部指数及各细分群体的参数稳定性
  4. 说明相关性假设(标准复合模型通常假设独立;若需Copula则升级处理)
  5. 总结模型选择标准(AIC/BIC、Anderson–Darling检验、QQ图)——并非单一自动选择结果
参考
references/severity_and_frequency_models.md

3. Aggregate and compound losses

3. 总损失与复合损失

  1. Define compound model (S = X_1 + \cdots + X_N)
  2. Apply normal approximation when conditions hold; state when it fails (heavy tail, low frequency)
  3. Outline FFT and simulation approaches for discrete/continuous severity (conceptual steps)
  4. Relate percentiles of (S) to risk measures and reinsurance layers (technical only)
See
references/aggregate_loss_models.md
.
  1. 定义复合模型(S = X_1 + \cdots + X_N)
  2. 在满足条件时应用正态近似;说明其失效场景(厚尾、低频率)
  3. 概述针对离散/连续损失程度的FFT模拟方法(概念步骤)
  4. 将(S)的百分位数与风险度量及再保险层级关联(仅技术层面)
参考
references/aggregate_loss_models.md

4. Credibility and experience rating

4. 可信度与经验费率

  1. Choose limited fluctuation, Bühlmann, or Bühlmann-Straub per homogeneity and data structure
  2. Compute credibility weights (Z); define complement (manual, industry, prior)
  3. Blend observed experience with complement for pure premium or loss ratio
  4. Document heterogeneity across classes/years and structural parameters
See
references/credibility_and_experience_rating.md
.
  1. 根据同质性与数据结构选择有限波动BühlmannBühlmann-Straub方法
  2. 计算可信度权重(Z);定义补充项(人工、行业、先验)
  3. 观测经验与补充项结合,计算纯保费或损失率
  4. 记录不同类别/年度的异质性及结构参数
参考
references/credibility_and_experience_rating.md

5. Ratemaking and short-term reserving (math level)

5. 费率厘定与短期准备金计提(数学层面)

  1. Pure premium indication: frequency × severity with documented adjustments
  2. Loss ratio and on-level premium; trend to prospective period
  3. Indicated change vs constraints; distinguish technical indication from implemented rate
  4. Reserving: chain-ladder factor algebra, expected loss ratio method—link full triangle work to
    actuarial-analyst
See
references/ratemaking_and_trend.md
.
  1. 纯保费指示值:发生频率×损失程度,并记录调整项
  2. 损失率平准化保费;针对前瞻周期的趋势调整
  3. 指示性变动 vs 约束条件;区分技术指示值与实际执行费率
  4. 准备金计提:链梯法因子代数、预期损失率法——将完整三角表工作转交
    actuarial-analyst
参考
references/ratemaking_and_trend.md

6. Estimation, diagnostics, and risk measures

6. 参数估计、诊断分析与风险度量

  1. Fit via MLE (or method of moments where standard); report standard errors when available
  2. Run goodness-of-fit and tail diagnostics; document limitations
  3. Compute VaR and TVaR at stated confidence levels; interpret for capital layers (non-regulatory)
  4. Package assumptions, alternatives, and sensitivity for actuary review
See
references/estimation_diagnostics_and_risk_measures.md
.
  1. 通过MLE(标准场景下也可使用矩估计法)拟合模型;若有可用值则报告标准误差
  2. 开展拟合优度检验与尾部诊断;记录局限性
  3. 在指定置信水平下计算VaRTVaR;解读其对资本层级的影响(非监管层面)
  4. 整理假设备选方案敏感性分析结果,提交给精算师审核

references/estimation_diagnostics_and_risk_measures.md
