Abstract
Analysis of the insurance data has recently been achieved considerable attention for in- surance industries. This paper introduces the contaminated exponential (CE) distribution as an alternative platform for analyzing positive-valued insurance dataset with some lev- els of outliers. The Bayesian approach for obtaining the parameter estimates is presented. In order to check the performance of the proposed methodology, some simulation studies by implementing the Gibbs sampling are conducted. Finally, four examples of actual insur- ance claim data with various sample sizes have been analyzed to illustrate the superiority of the CE distribution in analyzing data and identifying outliers.
