Payandeh Najafabadi}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {This article considers the problem of evaluating infinite-time (or finite-time) ruin probability under a given compound Poisson surplus process by approximating the claim size distribution by a finite mixture exponential, say Hyperexponential, distribution. It restates the infinite-time (or finite-time) ruin probability as a solvable ordinary differential equation (or a partial differential equation). Application of our findings has been given through a simulation study.}, journal = {International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Sciences}, volume = {11}, number = {1}, year = {2017}, pages = {18 - 25}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10006198}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/121}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 121, 2017}, }
