Abstract
Dominance relations and diagnostic tools based on Lorenz and Concentration curves in order to compare competing estimators of the regression function have recently been proposed. This approach turns out to be equivalent to forecast dominance when the estimators under consideration are auto-calibrated. A new characterization of auto-calibration is established, based on the graphs of Lorenz and Concentration curves. This result is exploited to propose an effective testing procedure for auto-calibration. A simulation study is conducted to evaluate its performances and its relevance for practice is demonstrated on an insurance data set.
期刊介绍：
Insurance: Mathematics and Economics publishes leading research spanning all fields of actuarial science research. It appears six times per year and is the largest journal in actuarial science research around the world.
Insurance: Mathematics and Economics is an international academic journal that aims to strengthen the communication between individuals and groups who develop and apply research results in actuarial science. The journal feels a particular obligation to facilitate closer cooperation between those who conduct research in insurance mathematics and quantitative insurance economics, and practicing actuaries who are interested in the implementation of the results. To this purpose, Insurance: Mathematics and Economics publishes high-quality articles of broad international interest, concerned with either the theory of insurance mathematics and quantitative insurance economics or the inventive application of it, including empirical or experimental results. Articles that combine several of these aspects are particularly considered.
