Model Aggregated Claims Value with Compound Poisson Distribution 

Values of claims of certain collision insurance with a $500 deductible follow a ParetoDistribution. The number of claims per year follows a PoissonDistribution and averages 20 claims per month. Hence the aggregated claims value follows a CompoundPoissonDistribution.
