  • Abstract
    A practical estimate on the credibility formula is presented, where a piecewise linear function is taken as the approximation of the prior distribution and applied to the credibility theory. The convergence of the approximation is analyzed. Simulation results for the lognormal–lognormal mixture show the effectiveness of the proposed estimate on the credibility.
