AbstractNumerical evaluation of compound distributions is one of the central numerical tasks in insurance mathematics. Two widely used techniques are Panjer recursion and transform methods. Many authors have pointed out that aliasing errors imply the need to consider the whole distribution if transform methods are used, a potential drawback especially for heavy-tailed distributions. We investigate the magnitude of aliasing errors and show that this problem can be solved by a suitable change of measure.

In this last part theFn(i) andMn(i) are considered as random variables whose distributions are described by the model and various mating rules of Section 2. Several convergence results will be proved for those specific mating rules, but we begin with the more general convergence theorem 6.1. The proof of this theorem brings out the basic idea of this section, namely that whenFnandMnare large,Fn + 1(i) andMn + 1(i) will, with high probability, be close to a certain function ofFn(·) andMn(·) (roughly the conditional expectation ofFn+1(i) andMn + 1(i) givenFn(·) andMn(·)).
