Abstract
A Rough process shares most of features of fractional Brownian motion with a small Hurst index and its sample paths exhibit a high ruggedness compared to those of a Brownian motion. This article studies a multivariate claim process in which the instantaneous probability of claim occurrences has a rough dynamic. In this setting, the claim arrival intensities have an infinite quadratic variation and are not semi-martingales. Nevertheless, the joint moment generating function of claim processes and the integral of claim arrival intensities admits a representation in terms of solutions of fractional differential equations. A numerical procedure is next proposed to filter the most likely sample path of rough intensities from time-series of claims. To illustrate this work, we estimate one- and two-dimensional rough models to time-series of cyber-attacks targeting medical and other services in the US from 2014 to 2018.
