Abstract
This paper deals with the use of parametric quantile regression for the calculation of a loaded premium, based on a quantile measure, corresponding to individual insurance risk. Heras et al. have recently introduced a ratemaking process based on a two-stage quantile regression model. In the first stage, a probability to have at least one claim is estimated by a GLM logit, whereas in the second stage several quantile regressions are necessary for the estimate of the severity component. The number of quantile regressions to be performed is equal to the number of risk classes selected for ratemaking. In the actuarial context, when a large number of risk classes are considered (e.g. in Motor Third Party Liability), such approach can imply an over-parameterization and time-consuming. To this aim, in the second stage, we suggest to apply a more parsimonious approach based on Parametric Quantile Regression as introduced by Frumento and Bottai and never used in the actuarial context. This more conservative approach allows you not to lose efficiency in the estimation of premiums compared to the traditional Quantile Regression.
