Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2On Bivariate Compound Sums(Elsevier, 2020) Tank, Fatih; Eryilmaz, SerkanThe study of compound sums have always been very popular in the literature. Many models in insurance and engineering have been represented and solved by compound sums. In this paper, two different bivariate compound sums are proposed and studied. The phase-type distribution is applied to obtain the probability generating function of the bivariate sum. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.

This paper presents a model about claim occurrences in an insurance portfolio that exceed the largest claim of another portfolio providing the same sort of insurance coverages. Two cases are taken into consideration: independent and identically distributed claims and exchangeable dependent claims in each of the portfolios. Copulas are used to model the dependence situations. Several theorems and examples are presented for the distributional properties and expected values of the critical quantities under concern.

The two simultaneously working components are assumed to be dependent and this dependence is modeled by a copula function. In particular, we obtain an explicit expression for the mean time to failure of the system in terms of the copula function and marginal lifetime distributions. We also provide illustrative numerical results for different copula functions and marginal lifetime distributions. (c) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
