In practical situations, we observe the number of claims to an insurance portfolio but not the claim intensity. It is therefore of interest to try to solve the ‘filtering problem’; that is, to obtain the best estimate of the claim intensity on the basis of reported claims. In order to use the Kalman-Bucy filter, based on the Cox process incorporating a shot noise process as claim intensity, we need to approximate it by a Gaussian process. We demonstrate that, if the primary-event arrival rate of the shot noise process is reasonably large, we can then approximate the intensity, claim arrival, and aggregate loss processes by a three-dimensional Gaussian process. We establish weak-convergence results. We then use the Kalman-Bucy filter and we obtain the price of reinsurance contracts involving high-frequency events.

Applying piecewise deterministic Markov processes theory, the probability generating function of a Cox process, incorporating with shot noise process as the claim intensity, is obtained. We also derive the Laplace transform of the distribution of the shot noise process at claim jump times, using stationary assumption of the shot noise process at any times. Based on this Laplace transform and from the probability generating function of a Cox process with shot noise intensity, we obtain the distribution of the interval of a Cox process with shot noise intensity for insurance claims and its moments, that is, mean and variance.

In this paper, we continue to study the properties of a separable strictly φ-sub-Gaussian quasi shot noise process $X(t) = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} g(t,u) d\xi(u), t\in\R$, generated by the response function g and the strictly φ-sub-Gaussian process ξ = (ξ(t), t ∈ R) with uncorrelated increments, such that E(ξ(t)−ξ(s))^2 = t−s, t>s ∈ R. We consider the problem of estimating the probability of exceeding some level by such a process on the interval [a;b], a,b ∈ R. The level is given by a continuous function f = {f(t), t ∈ [a;b]}, which satisfies some given conditions. In order to solve this problem, we apply the theorems obtained for random processes from a class V (φ, ψ), which generalizes the class of φ-sub-Gaussian processes. As a result, several estimates for probability of exceeding the curve f by sample pathes of a separable strictly φ-sub-Gaussian quasi shot noise process are obtained. Such estimates can be used in the study of shot noise processes that arise in the problems of financial mathematics, telecommunication networks theory, and other applications.

The crossing intensity of a level by a shot noise process with a monotone response is studied, and it is shown that the intensity can be naturally expressed in terms of a marginal probability.

Suppose that pulses arrive according to a Poisson process of rate λ with the duration of each pulse independently chosen from a distribution F having finite mean. Let X(t) be the shot noise process formed by the superposition of these pulses. We consider functionals H(X) of the sample path of X(t). H is said to be L-superadditive if for all functions f and g. For any distribution F for the pulse durations, we define H(F) = EH(X). We prove that if H is L-superadditive and for all convex functions ϕ, then . Various consequences of this result are explored.

We investigate a shot noise process with subexponential shot marks occurring at renewal epochs. Our main result is a precise asymptotic formula for its tail probability. In doing so, some recent results regarding sums of randomly weighted subexponential random variables play a crucial role.
