Approximation of Ruin Probabilities via Erlangized Scale Mixtures

Oscar Peralta, Leonardo Rojas-Nandayapa, Wangyue Xie +1

In this paper, we extend an existing scheme for numerically calculating the probability of ruin of a classical Cramér--Lundberg reserve process having absolutely continuous but oth…

Efficient simulation for dependent rare events with applications to extremes

Lars Nørvang Andersen, Patrick J. Laub, Leonardo Rojas-Nandayapa

We consider the general problem of estimating probabilities which arise as a union of dependent events. We propose a flexible series of estimators for such probabilities, and descr…

Asymptotic tail behavior of phase-type scale mixture distributions

Leonardo Rojas-Nandayapa, Wangyue Xie

We consider phase-type scale mixture distributions which correspond to distributions of a product of two independent random variables: a phase-type random variable and a nonneg…

Exponential Family Techniques for the Lognormal Left Tail

Soren Asmussen, Jens Ledet Jensen, Leonardo Rojas-Nandayapa

Let be lognormal with density , let and define . We study properties of the exponentially tilted density (Esscher transform) $f_θ(x) =e^{…

Non-Existence of Stabilizing Policies for the Critical Push-Pull Network and Generalizations

Yoni Nazarathy, Leonardo Rojas-Nandayapa, Thomas S. Salisbury

The push-pull queueing network is a simple example in which servers either serve jobs or generate new arrivals. It was previously conjectured that there is no policy that makes the…
