Classical (limited fluctuation):. Full-credibility standard depends on the confidence level, the tolerance, and whether you are estimating frequency, severity, or aggregate. Buhlmann: with. Higher process variance pushes down; higher between-risk variance pulls up. Buhlmann-Straub: same but is total exposure (not periods) and the period average is exposure-weighted. Bayesian: the credibility...
