The widely used Poisson count process in insurance claims modeling is no longer valid if the claims occurrences exhibit dispersion. In this paper, we consider the aggregate discounted claims of an insurance risk portfolio under Weibull counting process to allow for dispersed datasets. A copula is used to define the dependence structure between the interwaiting time and its subsequent claims amount. We use a Monte Carlo simulation to compute the higher-order moments of the risk portfolio, the premiums and the value-at-risk based on the New Zealand catastrophe historical data. The simulation outcomes under the negative dependence parameter θ, shows the highest value of moments when claims experience exhibit overdispersion. Conversely, the underdispersed scenario yields the highest value of moments when θ is positive. These results lead to higher premiums being charged and more capital requirements to be set aside to cope with unfavorable events borne by the insurers.

We consider the recursive moments of aggregate discounted claims, where the dependence between the inter-claim time and the subsequent claim size is captured by a copula distribution. The equations of the recursive moments, which take the form of the Volterra integral equation (VIE), are then solved using the Laplace transform. We then compute its mean and variance, and compare with the results obtained in previous literature.

We model the recursive moments of aggregate discounted claims, assuming the inter-claim arrival time follows a Weibull distribution to accommodate overdispersed and underdispersed data set. We use a copula to represent the dependence structure between the inter-claim arrival time and its subsequent claim amount. We then use the Laplace inversion via the Gaver-Stehfest algorithm to solve numerically the first and second moments, which takes the form of a Volterra integral equation (VIE). We compute the average and variance of the aggregate discounted claims under the Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM) copula and conduct a sensitivity analysis under various Weibull inter-claim parameters and claim-size parameters. The comparison between the equidispersed, overdispersed and underdispersed counting processes shows that when claims arrive at times that vary more than is expected, insured lives can expect to pay higher premium, and vice versa for the case of claims arriving at times that vary less than expected. Upon comparing the Weibull risk process with an equivalent Poisson process, we also found that copulas with a wider range of dependency parameter such as the Frank and Heavy Right Tail (HRT), have a greater impact on the value of moments as opposed to modeling under FGM copula with weak dependence structure.
