Improved Estimation of IBNR Claims by Credibility Theory

Abstract
In this paper, the model of De Vylder (1982) has been slightly improved upon and generalized. In De Vylder's model one assumption does not seem to be realistic in many cases and another is not satisfactory from a theoretical point of view. The model presented here has been found to be a special case of the credibility model of Bühlmann and Straub.
