ABSTRACT. A method for estimating non-life insurance premiums from observed data for multiplicative tariff structures,based on the multiplicativity assumption and on the minimization of the chi-square function of the errors is presented and the corresponding formulas are derived. Certain bounds for the variances of estimated premiums are also obtained. PC programs for implementing the method for two and three factors are described.
