    On compound sums under dependence
    (Elsevier, 2017) Eryilmaz, Serkan
    In this paper, we study the compound random variable S = Sigma(N)(t-1) Y-t when there is a dependence between a random variable N and a sequence of random variables {Y-t}(t >= 1). Such a compound random variable has been found to be useful in several fields including actuarial science, risk management, and reliability. In particular, we develop some results on distributional properties of the random variable S when N is a phase-type random variable that is defined on a sequence of binary trials and depends on {Y-t}(t >= 1). We "present illustrative examples and an application for the use of results in actuarial science. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    The Distribution of Wind Power from a Dispersed Array of Wind Turbine Generators and Its Reliability Based Applications
    (Elsevier, 2026) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Kan, Cihangir; Devrim, Yilser
    In this paper, the probability distribution of wind power from a dispersed array of wind turbine sites is studied considering forced outage rates of wind turbines. The wind speeds at distinct sites are assumed to be dependent and the dependence is modeled by copulas. In particular, the probability distribution of the aggregate power from two sites is exactly derived. The probability distribution of the aggregate power is also derived under the particular case when site 1 consists of n1 identical wind turbines of type 1 and site 2 consists of n2 identical wind turbines of type 2. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the theoretical findings for a chosen copula function.

    Computing Finite Time Non-Ruin Probability and Some Joint Distributions in Discrete Time Risk Model With Exchangeable Claim Occurrences
    (Elsevier, 2017) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Gebizlioglu, Omer L.
    In this paper, we study a discrete time risk model based on exchangeable dependent claim occurrences. In particular, we obtain expressions for the finite time non-ruin probability, and the joint distribution of the time to ruin, the surplus immediately before ruin, and the deficit at ruin. An illustration of the results is given and some implications of the results are provided. Comparisons are made with the corresponding results for the classical compound binomial model of independent and identically distributed claim occurrences. (C) 2016 Elsevier E.V. All rights reserved.
