N2 - In this paper we examine two classes of correlated aggregate claims distributions, with univariate claim counts and multivariate claim sizes. Firstly, we extend the results of Hesselager [ASTIN Bulletin, 24: 19-32(1994)] and Wang & Sobrero's [ASTIN Bulletin, 24: 161-166 (1994)] concerning recursions for compound distributions to a multivariate situation where each claim event generates a random vector. Then we give a multivariate continuous version of recursive algorithm for calculating a family of compound distribution. Especially, to some extent, we obtain a continuous version of the corresponding results in Sundt [ASTIN Bulletin, 29: 29-45 (1999)] and Ambagaspitiya [Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, 24: 301-308 (1999)]. Finally, we give an example and show how to use the algorithm for aggregate claim distribution of first class to compute recursively the compound distribution.
