Supertails in risk theory


G. Sh. Tsitsiashvili, D. G. Konstantinidis

2001, issue 1, P. 68–76


Abstract
The parameter of heaviness of claim distribution tail is introduced. The ruin probility behaviour when the parameter of heaviness tends to limit is studied. The most popular distribution families are examined.
