Abstract

Non–homogenous Poisson processes with periodic claim intensity rate have been proposed as claim counts in risk theory. Here a doubly periodic Poisson model with short and long–term trends is studied. Beta–type intensity functions are presented as illustrations. The likelihood function and
the maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters are derived.

Double periodic Poisson models are appropriate when the seasonality does not repeat the exact same short–term pattern every year, but has a peak intensity that varies over a longer period. This reflects periodic environments like those forming hurricanes, in alternating El Nino/La Nina years. An application of the model to the dataset of Atlantic Hurricanes Affecting the United States (1899-2000) is discussed in detail.
