J. Cai, et J. Garrido,, Two-Sided Bounds for Tails of Compound Negative Binomial Distributions in the Exponential and Heavy-Tailed Cases, Scandinavian actuarial journal , 2000(2), 2000, pp. 102-120
This paper derives two-sided bounds for tails of compound negative binomial distributions, both in the exponential and heavy-tailed cases. Two approaches are employed to derive the two-sided bounds in the case of exponential tails. One is the convolution technique, as in Willmot & Lin (1997). The other is based on an identity of compound negative binomial distributions; they can be represented as a compound Poisson distribution with a compound logarithmic distribution as the underlying claims distribution. This connection between the compound negative binomial, Poisson and logarithmic distributions results in two-sided bounds for the tails of the compound negative binomial distribution, which also generalize and improve a result of Willmot & Lin (1997). For the heavy-tailed case, we use the method developed by Cai & Garrido (1999b). In addition, we give two-sided bounds for stop-loss premiums of compound negative binomial distributions. Furthermore, we derive bounds for the stop-loss premiums of general compound distributions among the classes of HNBUE and HNWUE.
