Abstract
Deriving loss distribution from insurance data is a challenging task, as loss distribution is strongly skewed with heavy tails with some levels of outliers. This paper extends the weighted exponential (WE) family to the contaminated WE (CWE) family, which offers many flexible features, including bimodality and a wide range of skewness and kurtosis. We adopt Expectation-Maximization (EM) and Bayesian approaches to estimate the model, providing the likelihood and the priors for all unknown parameters. Finally, two sets of claims data are analyzed to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method in detecting outliers.
