Probability and statistics in insurance

Probability and statistics provide the language of insurance: frequency and severity, dependence, credibility and uncertainty. They make assumptions explicit, test them against experience, and show how much confidence any estimate of loss deserves, from a single portfolio’s claim frequency to a national estimate of how many households are uninsured.

What probability and statistics does here.

Probability and statistics provide the mathematical framework for describing uncertainty and learning from data. They underpin estimation, testing and prediction in every risk discipline. In insurance and catastrophe, climate and hazards and health and biosecurity, statistical methods quantify the likelihood and uncertainty of losses across interconnected سیستەمەکان. They make the evidence behind risk decisions explicit and reproducible. The canonical description is on the STEM Commons.

Frequency and severity modelling

Generalised linear models relate claim frequency and severity to risk factors, with offsets for exposure, so the contribution of each factor and its uncertainty can be read and reviewed.

Bayesian updating of assumptions

Prior assumptions from industry or benchmark data are updated with an insurer’s own experience, giving posterior estimates that state how far the data have moved the assumption.

Survey design for protection gaps

Household surveys on insurance take-up are designed and weighted so that estimates of uninsured shares represent the population, and their sampling error is reported with them.

03Loss model

Loss exceedance, average annual loss and probable maximum loss.

The loss a portfolio in the footprint can expect per year and at the 1 in 100 and 1 in 250 levels that insurers and lenders price, from the same three blocks every catastrophe model uses. Teaching model with stated illustrative values, not a prediction.

05Exposure, loss and capital

What probability and statistics in insurance means for exposure, loss and capital.

The exposure, loss, scenario and capital views a risk officer, supervisor or ministry of finance would ask for, with the frameworks they report against. Structures follow supervisory and actuarial practice. Values are illustrative: never prices, ratings or advice.

Exposure and loss at return periods

How losses from probability and statistics in insurance grow with severity, gross and net of reinsurance, against capital.

How results are checked.

Results are checked through diagnostics, cross-validation and sensitivity to assumptions. Independent replication confirms findings.

بپشکنەHow it is done
Out-of-sample validationModels are fitted on one period or segment and tested on another; only test performance is reported
Residual diagnosticsResiduals are inspected for structure the model has missed, such as trends or clustering
Sensitivity to assumptionsIndependence, distribution and sampling assumptions are varied and the effect on the result is stated

Inference depends on assumptions about independence, distribution and sampling that may not hold. Small or biased samples limit reliability.
