Comparison of Some Methods to Fit a Multiplicative Tariff Structure to Observed Risk Data

Abstract
Three methods for fitting multiplicative models to observed, cross-classified risk data are compared. They are the method of Bailey-Simon, the method of marginal totals and a maximum likelihood method. The methods are applied to a number of risk data sets and compared with respect to balance and goodness-of-fit. KEYWORDS multiplicative models, Tariff structures.
