    In the chapter on claim analyses (Chapter 24, section 5, page 26) it says that distribution models may be fitted to either the claim frequency or claim amounts to project the run-off of outstanding claims.

    Does anybody know how the run-off can be projected using claim distributions?

    If you know what the ultimate distribution of claims is going to be, and you know the situation to date (either paid or incurred), then the difference will be the run-off. How it actually gets there will be a little more difficult to model.

    Thanks for your comments.

    What's an LDF?
