Multi seasonal discrete time risk model revisited

Abstract

In this work we set up the distribution function of $\mathcal{M}:=\sup_{n\geqslant1}\sum_{i=1}^{n}{(Z_i-1)}$, where the random walk $\sum_{i=1}^{n}Z_i, n\in\mathbb{N},$ is generated by $N$ periodically occurring distributions and the integer-valued and non-negative random variables $Z_1,\,Z_2,\,\ldots$ are independent. The considered random walk generates so-called multi seasonal discrete time risk model, and a known distribution of random variable $\mathcal{M}$ enables to calculate ultimate time ruin or survival probability. Verifying obtained theoretical statements we demonstrate several computational examples for survival probability $\mathbb{P}(\mathcal{M}< u)$ when $N=2,\,3$ or $10$.
