If these assumptions hold, the Mack chain-ladder gives an unbiased estimator for IBNR (Incurred But Not Reported) claims. Here \ (w_ {ik} are the \code {weights} from above.\) The Mack chain-ladder model can be regarded as a special form of a weighted linear regression through the origin for each development period: lm(y ~ x + 0, weights ...

The Mack chain-ladder model forecasts future claims developmentsbased on a historical cumulative claims development triangle and estimatesthe standard error around those.
Following Mack's 1999 paper let CikC_{ik}Cik denote the cumulative loss amounts of origin period (e.g. accident year) i=1,…,mi=1,\ldots,mi=1,…,m, with losses known for development period(e.g. development year) k≤n+1−ik \le n+1-ik≤n+1−i.In order to forecast the amounts CikC_{ik}Cik fork>n+1−ik > n+1-ik>n+1−ithe Mack chain-ladder-model assumes: \mb...

Jul 21, 2024 · If these assumptions hold, the Mack chain-ladder-model gives an unbiased estimator for IBNR (Incurred But Not Reported) claims. The Mack chain-ladder model can be regarded as a weighted linear regression through the origin for each development period: lm(y ~ x + 0, weights=w/x^(2-alpha)) , where \(y\) is the vector of claims at development period \(k+1\) and \(x\) is the vector of claims at ...
Model of Reserving with Robust Estimationby Przemyslaw SlomaABSTRACTIn this paper we consider the problem of stochasti. claims reserv-ing in the framework of development factor models (DFM). More precisely, we provide the generalized Mack chain-ladder (GMCL) model that expands the approaches of Mack. (1993; 1994; 1999), Saito (2009) and Murphy ...
We revisit the “full picture” of the claims development uncertainty in Mack’s (1993) distribution-free stochastic chain ladder model. We derive the uncertainty estimators in a new and easily understandable way, which is much simpler than the derivation found so far in the literature, and compare them with the well known estimators of Mack and of Merz–Wüthrich.
