The limiting behavior of some infinitely divisible exponential dispersion models
Abstract
Consider an exponential dispersion model (EDM) generated by a probability on which is infinitely divisible with an unbounded L\'{e}vy measure . The Jorgensen set (i.e., the dispersion parameter space) is then , in which case the EDM is characterized by two parameters: the natural parameter of the associated natural exponential family and the Jorgensen (or dispersion) parameter . Denote by the corresponding distribution and let is a r.v. with distribution . Then if around zero we prove that the limiting law of as is of a Pareto type (not depending on ) with the form for and for . Such a result enables an approximation of the distribution of for relatively small values of the dispersion parameter of the corresponding EDM. Illustrative examples are provided.
