Popis: This study presents an estimation approach to non-life insurance claim counts relating to a specified time. The objective of this study is to estimate the parameters in non-life insurance claim counting process, including the homogeneous Poisson process (HPP) and the non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) with a bell-shaped intensity. We use the estimating function, the zero mean martingale (ZMM) as a procedure of parameter estimation in the insurance claim counting process. Then, Λ (t), the compensator of N (t) is proposed for the number of claims in the time interval (0, t]. We present situations through a simulation study of both processes on the time interval (0, t]. Some examples of the situations in the simulation study are depicted by a sample path relating N (t) to its compensator Λ (t). In addition, an example of the claim counting process illustrates the result of the compensator estimate misspecification.
