Description: This abstract describes a presentation that introduces a new class of bivariate distributions whose marginals can be beta-generated.

Description: In this paper, a basic varying parameter regression model, where the regression coefficients vary over time, is employed to predict the future expected claims. It is shown that the resulting credibility formula for the prediction is of the updating type. The credibility formula performs well compared to the basic credibility formula of BÄuhlmann-Straub when applied to the Hachemeister data. From Actuarial Research Clearing House 2003, Vol 2.
