Abstract
As already mentioned the simplest case is considered first, namely, where the claims arising from the insurance portfolio under consideration are all for the same amount. If this constant amount is taken as the monetary unit, the total outgo will be equal to the number of claims. The problem is to find the probability function of the number of claims, i.e. a function p k (t) which gives the probability that the number of claims in time t is equal to k.
