The paper attempts to identify and address fundamental issues that need to be considered before developing a particular stochastic investment model.

Description: This paper presents a method involving re-sampling 'with replacement but without random numbers', numerical convolutions for sums and quotients, and estimation of confidence intervals for trend in average size claim. In this paper, this method is applied to major medical claims.
