The Poissonlaw of small numbers' is a central principle in modern theories of reliability,
insurance, and the statistics of extremes. It also has ramifications in apparently unrelated …

The increasing complexity of insurance and reinsurance products has seen a growing

Abstract Let [0, T 1]×[0, T 2] be a rectangular region. Let hi= T i/N i> 0, where N i are positive
integers, i= 1, 2. In many applications the exact locations of the observed events in the …
