    Hi

    Does anyone know what the symbols ^ and v mean in the context of expected values and ILFs?

    for example, E[N]E[x^b]

    It’s not a power sign and a v, but a bit like the or/and logic symbols.
    Thanks in advance

    See page 6 and 10 of Chapter 15.

    Cheers.

    So is there a difference between
    E[{(X-D)^L}v0] and E[max(min(X-D,L),0)]?

    And we’re just saying that a loss less deductible is somewhere between a limit and 0?

    That's exactly right, well done.
