Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new efficient method for estimating the Gerber–Shiu discounted penalty function in the classical risk model. We develop the Gerber–Shiu function on the Laguerre basis, and then estimate the unknown coefficients based on sample information on claim numbers and individual claim sizes. The convergence rate of the estimate is derived. Some simulation examples are illustrated to show that the estimate performs very well when the sample size is finite. We also show that the proposed estimate outperforms other estimates in the simulation studies.
