Description: In this paper, Lagrangian distributions are reviewed and some of their properties are studied. Recursive methods are proposed to calculate compound Lagrange distributions. Some examples for a sub-family of Lagrangian Distributions and its compound distributions are studied.

Description: This paper presents a statistical and mathematical method to calculate Stop-Loss Premiums. It also includes a discussion of the paper. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1976, Vol. 28.

Description: Statistical properties of interest, annuity and insurance functions are examined when mortality and interest are treated as having a random component. Several special models of interest rate fluctuation are examined in detail. It is hoped that such theory will be useful in developing fluctuation reserves and premium margins. Presented at the 13th Annual Actuarial Research Conference, Ball State University, August 31st. September lst, 2nd. 1978.

Description: The subject of this paper is a mathematical model for insurance company risks formed by a linear combination of four stochastic processes recognizing claim patterns, investment performance assumptions, operating expenses and lapse expenses. A discussion of the paper follows. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1978, Vol. 30.
