Modeling discrete common-shock risks through matrix distributions / Martin Bladt... [et al.]
Sumario: This paper introduces a new class of bivariate Common-Shock Discrete Phase-Type (CDPH) distributions for modeling dependence in risk processes. The model couples two Markov chains that evolve jointly until a random common-shock time and then independently, yielding a tractable joint distribution. We derive key analytical properties, extend the framework to random-sum aggregate risks, and develop estimation procedures using the EM algorithm. Simulation studies and an application to bivariate insurance claim frequencies demonstrate the model's effectiveness, including its ability to estimate latent common-shock components
