Assumptions & limitations
  • Incremental losses follow an over-dispersed Poisson process; Pearson residuals are treated as i.i.d. and exchangeable across the triangle.
  • Each simulation re-fits volume-weighted chain-ladder factors on the resampled pseudo-triangle, then adds process variance around the resulting IBNR.
  • Results are seeded (mulberry32 PRNG) for reproducibility; re-running with the same seed and N reproduces the same distribution.
