Résumé
This paper presents and compares different risk classification models for the annual number of claims reported to the insurer. Generalized heterogeneous, zero-inflated, hurdle and compound frequency models are applied to a sample of an automobile portfolio of a major company operating in Spain. A statistical comparison between models is performed with the help of various specification tests (Score and Hausman tests for nested models, Vuong test or information criteria for non-nested ones). Interesting results about claiming behavior are obtained.
