->How do deductibles affect claim frequency:
->Setup:  Let {$X_j$} be the severity, representing the ground-up loss on the j-th loss when there's no coverage modification.  Given a deductible {$d$}, let {$v= Prob(X>d)$}.  Let {$N^P$} and {$N^L$} denote the the number of payment and number of losses, respectively.  Then we can show that the # of payments is affected from the deductible by
{$$P_{N^p}(z)= P_{N^L}(1+v(z-1)).$$}

The ''collective risk model'' is

a.  Conditional on {$N=n$}, the {$X_j$}'s are i.i.d. random variables.
b.  Conditional on {$N=n$}, the common distribution of the {$X_j$}'s does not depend on {$n$}.
c.  The distribution of {$N$} does not depend on the values {$X_j$}.
In practice, {$N$} is the number of claims  and {$X_j$}'s are the amount paid on the claims

{$N$} is called the ''claim count random variable'' or just ''claims''; or ''frequency''.
{$X_j$}'s are called ''(single-)loss random variables'', or ''severity''.
{$S$} is called ''aggregate loss random variable'', or ''total loss random variable''.
