The results compare favorably with risk capital obtained by fitting appropriate distributions to the same data. The CLT formulation is significant in validation because it provides an alternative approach to the calculation that is independent of both the empirical severity distribution and any dependent fitted distribution ID - discovery10163530 PB - Infopro Digital Services Limited ER -
