Abstract

The Danish fire insurance data have recently been modeled by composite distributions, i.e., distributions made up by piecing together two or more distributions. Here, we introduce a new non composite distribution that performs well with respect to the Danish fire insurance data. It fits better than almost all of the commonly known heavy-tailed distributions and some of the composite distributions.
