Summary/Abstract: The main aim of the paper is point out on a new approach to statistical modelling of claims severity by using quantile functions. In addition to explain the theoretical principles and present the application of claims severity models that based function. Claims severity in non-life insurance refers to the monetary loss of an insurance claim and is usually modeled as a non-negative continuous random variable. The conditions under which claims are performed and data are collected allow considering the claims severity to be samples from specific heavy-tailed probability distribution.
