This work proposes to employ the (bursty) GLO model from Bingmer et. al (2011) to model the occurrence of tropical cyclones. We develop a Bayesian framework to estimate the parameters of the model and, particularly, employ a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. This also allows us to develop a forecasting framework for future events.
Moreover, we assess the default probability of an insurance company that is exposed to claims that occur according to a GLO process and show that the model is able to substantially improve actuarial risk management if events occur in oscillatory bursts.
