Aduda 82 distributions by appropriate use of trigonometric functions. The proposed method ensures that no additional parameter(s) is/are introduced in the bit to make the F-Loss family of distributions flexible. The mathematical properties are derived and maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters are obtained. Three special distributions are proposed; cosine Weibull loss, cosine Burr III loss and cosine Lomax loss. The densities exhibit different kinds of right-skewed, decreasing, reversed-J, and approximately symmetric shapes. The hazard rate functions show different kinds of increasing, decreasing, increasing-constant-increasing, increasing-constantdecreasing, reversed-J, and upside down bathtub shapes. Monte Carlo simulations are carried out to assess the behavior of the estimators. It is realized that the estimators are consistent.

Introduction Modeling insurance claims is vital in risk management problems. Most insurance loss datasets exhibit right skewness, unimodal shape, and a thick right tail [4]. A distribution showing these features is desirable in modeling financial data (insurance loss, assets returns, amongst others) and thus could be used for evaluating the business risk level. Insurance data are usually positive, and their distributions are typically unimodal humped shaped, with extreme values yielding tails heavier than conventional distributions [6]. Therefore, traditional distributions may not be flexible enough in modeling these heavy-tailed datasets [1]. In many applied fields, including engineering, medicine, and finance among others, right or left skewness, bi-modality or multi-modality are features of data sets that can be modeled using statistical distributions. The commonly used distributions include normal, Weibull, gamma, and Lindley because of their simple forms and identifiability properties. A New Family of F-Loss Distributions: Properties and Applications 83 Some methods of developing distributions like the beta generated, transformation of variables, compounding of distributions, and addition of parameter among others are mostly not flexible enough in modeling insurance loss data adequately and sometimes there are issues of overparameterization. That is, some statistical distributions proposed in the literature have many parameters in the bit to make them flexible. According to [3], estimates from such distributions may be challenging to obtain numerically. Hence, there is the need to develop distributions with fewer parameters yet with a greater flexibility for modeling insurance loss data. From the literature, we do not find sufficient study on heavy-tailed distributions based on trigonometric functions; most of them are based on algebraic functions [2]. Raab and Green in [8] introduced a cosine distribution to approximate the normal distribution. Some of the extensions are the Cos-G family of distributions proposed by [9] and [10] proposing the Cosine Weibull (CosW). Muhammad et al. [7] introduced the new extended cosine family of distributions with the extended cosine generalized halflogistic, extended cosine power, and extended cosine Weibull distributions as special cases. Moreover, an increased interest in data analysis requires further research so as to have more choices regarding distributions that dwell on trigonometric functions [7]. The trigonometric transformation provides flexibility because of the periodic function, which controls how the distribution curve behaves, and parameter(s) oscillate with value changes [11]. Ahmad et al. [2] proposed the F-Loss family of distributions by adding a shape parameter to the baseline distribution. They proposed the Weibull-Loss (W-Loss) distribution as a special distribution. The distributions from this family are mostly not flexible enough in fitting most data set adequately. We extend this family of distributions without adding any extra parameter(s) by using trigonometric functions. This is to increase the flexibility of the F-Loss family of distributions and by extension develop better parametric fit to a given dataset than some of the conventional heavy tailed distributions. 84 John Abonongo, Ivivi J. Mwaniki and Jane A. Aduda The motivation for proposing an extension of the F-Loss family of distributions is to improve the flexibility of the F-Loss family of distributions without introducing any additional parameter(s); to develop heavy tailed distributions with fewer parameters giving better parametric fit to a given dataset than other existing distributions; to generate distributions which are capable of modeling monotonic and non-monotonic hazard rates. Therefore, there is the need to extend the F-Loss family of distributions. This method contributes to the literature on heavy-tailed distributions that are based on trigonometric functions. The rest of the paper is organized as follows: Section 2 presents the genesis of the proposed family of the F-Loss distributions. The mixture representation of the CFL family of distributions is presented in Section 3. Section 4 presents the mathematical properties of the CFL family of distributions. In Section 5, we present the parameter estimation of the CFL family using maximum likelihood. Section 6 presents three special distributions of the CFL family of distributions. The behavior of the parameters of the special distributions is ascertained in Section 7 using Monte Carlo simulations. In Section 8, the applications of the special distributions are illustrated using two insurance loss datasets and the conclusion is presented in Section 9. 2. Proposed Family of the F-Loss Distributions From Section 1, it is essential that researchers look for heavy-tailed distributions with fewer parameters and yet flexible in modeling insurance loss to improve the flexibility of existing distributions. In this section, we propose a new family of the F-Loss distributions as an extension of the F-Loss family of distributions without adding any extra parameter(s). The proposed method is flexible and avoids over-parameterization. The F-Loss family of distributions was introduced by [2].

Quantile function The quantile function is vital in describing the random variable of a distribution. It helps in simulating random samples which are useful in simulations. It can also be used to compute measures of shape such as skewness and kurtosis. Lemma 2.

It is also called the quantile premium principle or quantile risk measure. It is usually expressed with a confidence level q (usually 90%, 95% or 99%), and represent the percentage of loss in portfolio value that will be equaled or exceeded only X percent of the time. The VaR of a random X is the qth quantile of its CDF [12]. Proposition 3. For V ! 0, the VaRq X of the CFL family of distributions is given by ª1  § 2 arccos 1  q «¬ ¨© S ·º >V  log 1  t @  V 1  t ¸» ¹¼ (15) 0, where t is the solution of the equation ª1  § 2 arccos 1  q «¬ ¨© S ·º >V  log 1  t @  V 1  t ¸» ¹¼ 0.

Monte Carlo Simulation In this section, the simulation results are presented in examining the properties of the maximum likelihood estimators for the parameters of the CLoL distribution. Five different combinations of the parameter values of this distribution were specified and the quantile function used in generating four different random samples of size, n simulations were replicated for N 50, 100, 150, 200. The 1000 times. The properties of the estimators were investigated by computing average bias (AB) and root mean square error (RMSE) for each of the parameters. The simulation steps are as follows: A New Family of F-Loss Distributions: Properties and Applications 107 (i) Specify the values of the parameters and the sample size n. (ii) Generate random samples of size n 50, 100, 150, 200 from CLoL distribution using the quantile. (iii) Find the maximum likelihood estimates for the parameters. (iv) Repeat steps (ii)-(iii) for 1000 times. (v) Calculate the average bias (AB) and root mean square error (RMSE) for the parameters of the distributions. Table 1 shows the simulation results for the CLoL distribution. It can be observed that, as the sample size increase, the AB and RMSE for the estimators of the parameters decrease. This shows that the estimators are consistent. Table 1.

The performance of the CWL, CBIIIL, and CLoL distributions were compared with other loss distributions. The performance of the distributions about providing proper parametric fit to the dataset was compared using the AIC, BIC, Cramér-Von Misses W , Anderson-Darling and K-S statistics. The distribution A with the least of these measures provides a reasonable fit to the dataset. The fit for the CWL, CBIIIL, and CLoL are compared with other heavy-tailed distributions, including the 2-parameter Weibull, 2-parameter Burr XII (BXII), Weibull-Loss (W-Loss), 2-parameter Burr III (BIII), Fréchet, WeibullLomax and Lomax. The distribution functions of the competitive models are: (1) Weibull F x D 1  e  Jx , x t 0, D, J ! 0. (2) B-XII F x 1  1  x c k , x t 0, c, k ! 0.

Conclusion In this article, we have proposed a new family of F-Loss distributions known as cosine F-Loss family of distributions; an extension of the F-Loss family of distributions. The purpose of the paper is to develop heavy-tailed distributions with fewer parameters and yet flexible in providing better parametric fit to a given dataset than some classical distributions and to generate distributions which are capable of modeling monotonic and nonmonotonic hazard rates. The mathematical properties and maximum likelihood estimators of the family are studied. Three special distributions, namely the cosine Weibull loss, cosine Burr III loss, and cosine Lomax loss distributions, are proposed. Simulations are carried out to examine the behavior of the parameters of the proposed distributions. It is realized that the estimators are consistent. The densities exhibit different kinds of rightskewed, decreasing, reversed-J, and approximately symmetric shapes. The 116 John Abonongo, Ivivi J. Mwaniki and Jane A. Aduda hazard rate functions show different kinds of increasing, decreasing, increasing-constant-increasing, increasing-constant-decreasing, reversed-J, and upside down bathtub shapes. The usefulness of the proposed distributions is analyzed with two insurance loss datasets. From the applications, the cosine Burr III loss distribution provides the best parametric fit for both the business interruption claims and the automobile bodily injury claims datasets. The proposed model is reasonably good compared with the competitors. Insurance practitioners can employ the proposed models in modeling insurance loss since they are flexible. We hope the proposed model will attract broader application in the actuarial sciences and other related fields. Future extensions of this work will be to consider inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions. References [1] Z. Ahmad, E. Mahmoudi and S.
