In this paper, we give an overview of these methods. We compare their performance with the straight- forward convolution technique by counting the number of dot operations involved in each method. It turns out that in many practicle situations, the recursive methods outperform the convolution method.展开更多

We obtain an exact recursive formula for the probability function of the multivariate compound distribution corresponding to this model under the assumption that the conditional multivariate counting distribution (conditioned by the total number of claims) is multinomial. Our formula extends the corresponding one from Jin and Ren.展开更多
