1 The Aalyss of Developmet of Isurace Cotract Premums of Geeral Lablty Isurace the Busess Isurace Rsk the Frame of the Czech Isurace Market Scetfc Coferece Jue, Pavla Kubová Departmet of Isurace Maagemet Techcal Uversty of Lberec, Faculty of Ecoomcs Lberec, Czech Republc pavla.kubova@tul.cz Abstract Ths paper deals wth the tme seres aalyss ad ther developmet predcto of surace cotract premum of geeral lablty surace the busess surace rsk the frame of the Czech surace market for years 01 ad 013. The tme seres are defed as a sequece of data pots, measured typcally at successve tmes, spaced at tme tervals. Data ths modelg are gross premum wrtte of lablty surace of employers for work jures ad occupatoal dseases of members of CAP (Czech Isurace Assocato) years 1998 to 011. Ths aalyss does ot clude ecoomc factors (for example: flato, ecoomc progress, ecoomc recesso, ecoomc shocks). Keywords- tme seres aalyss; predcto; cotract premum; geeral lablty surace, busess surace rsk. I. INTRODUCTION Whe characterzg the Czech surace market, several basc ecoomc dcators wll appear. For example, gross premum wrtte of surace cotract premum of geeral lablty surace the busess surace rsk. I ths paper, gross premum wrtte surace cotract premum of geeral lablty surace the busess surace rsk wth years 1998 to 011 wll be aalyzed ad ther developmet predcto for years 01 ad 013 wll be gve. The data for ths aalyss are used from the Czech Isurace Assocato (CAP). The aalyss s developed for the Studet Project Grat Competto 013; grat No Tme seres aalyss s dscussed may textbooks, see Hamlto (1994) [1]; Hdls, Hroová ad Novák (000) []; Chatfeld (003) [3] ad Tsay (005) [4]. I the frst part of ths paper, basc characterstc developmet of tme seres wll be aalyzed. The secod part wll by focused o detfcato of the tred by meas of hypotheses tests, tha a acceptable model wth predcto for years 01 ad 013 wll be chose. The estmate of tred fucto values wll be aalyzed by usg the statstc program Statgraphc Ceturo XVI. I the fal tables R.M.S.E. (root mea square error), I_adjusted^ (adjusted dex of determato), t-tests (tests crtero), P-values (crtcal sgfcace lmts) ad total F-test wll be calculated.

The elemetal characterstcs clude: dfferece of frst ad secod order, the rate of growth / decle, pace of ga / loss ad average, average rate of growth / decle, average absolute crease / decrease.

If the seres shows a certa developmetal tedeces, we ca derve from frst dffereces the secod or thrd dfferece. Accelerato s determed by comparg the absolute cremets, as the secod (absolute) dffereces.

The lowest error was publshed o the quadratc tred fucto, whle the modfed determato dex was hghest the lear model. The best model for the aalyss tme was chose lear tred ad the reasos that the P-value was publshed o quadratc tred testg parameter c s hgh ( ) ad the ull hypothess (c = 0) was therefore adopted. Accordg to the results pot forecast for the selected lear model was a cofdece terval of 99 % for 01 predcted gross premums wrtte surace busess after roudg of CZK ad the roudg of CZK For comparso, f the predcted values correspod to realty, due to data uavalablty, we'll kow utl the ed of 013, whch wll be publshed the Aual Report of the Czech Isurace Assocato. The program Statgraphcs Ceturo XVI. was also used by the auto model selecto crtera such as the selecto method I chose the Akake formato crtero (A.I.C.).
