Estimation in the Pareto Distribution

Abstract
In the present paper, different estimators of the Pareto parameter will be proposed and compared to each others. Credibility theory is used to get more stable estimators of for portfolios of excess of loss treaties with similar characteristics. At the end a special estimator of the risk premium for an unlimited excess of loss cover will be proposed. Reinsurance Research - Loss Distributions, Size of
