Estimating the Gerber–Shiu function by Fourier–Sinc series expansion

Pages 898-919 | Received 11 May 2016, Accepted 01 Dec 2016, Published online: 22 Dec 2016
 

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the nonparametric estimation of the Gerber–Shiu function in a compound Poisson risk model perturbed by diffusion. We present a more efficient estimator based on Fourier–Sinc series expansion. Our estimator is easily computed and has a faster convergence rate. Some simulation examples are provided to show that the estimator performs well when the sample size is finite.
