Cumulative Trend Method
Definition of "Cumulative trend method"
Approach to derive trend lines that can be applied to rating insured losses. Other methods require substantial preliminary operations to solve systems of equations of several unknowns. The cumulative method reduces the probability of mistakes because a relatively simple computation is required to prepare a set of data for the burning cost ratio.
