In actuarial science, the Esscher transform Шаблон:Harv is a transform that takes a probability density f(x) and transforms it to a new probability density f(xh) with a parameter h. It was introduced by F. Esscher in 1932 Шаблон:Harv.

Definition

Let f(x) be a probability density. Its Esscher transform is defined as

<math>f(x;h)=\frac{e^{hx}f(x)}{\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{hx} f(x) dx}.\,</math>

More generally, if μ is a probability measure, the Esscher transform of μ is a new probability measure Eh(μ) which has density

<math>\frac{e^{hx}}{\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{hx} d\mu(x)} </math>

with respect to μ.

Basic properties

Combination
The Esscher transform of an Esscher transform is again an Esscher transform: Eh1 Eh2 = Eh1 + h2.
Inverse
The inverse of the Esscher transform is the Esscher transform with negative parameter: EШаблон:Su = Eh
Mean move
The effect of the Esscher transform on the normal distribution is moving the mean:
<math>E_h(\mathcal{N}(\mu,\,\sigma^2)) =\mathcal{N}(\mu + h\sigma^2,\,\sigma^2).\,</math>
