Mack's estimator motivated by large exposure asymptotics in a compound Poisson setting

The distribution-free chain ladder of Mack justified the use of the chain ladder predictor and enabled Mack to derive an estimator of conditional mean squared error of prediction for the chain ladder predictor. Classical insurance loss models, i.e. of compound Poisson type, are not consistent with M
