Modeling dependencies in claims reserving with GEE

Abstract

A common approach to the claims reserving problem is based on generalized linear models (GLM), where the claims in different origin and development years are assumed to be independent variables. If this is violated, the classical techniques may provide incorrect predictions of the claims reserves or even misleading estimates of the prediction error.
