Loss Models: From Data to Decisions, Book + Solutions Manual Set
No Customer Reviews
A modern practical guide to building and using actuarial models.
Loss Models: From Data to Decisions is organized around the principle that actuaries build models in order to analyze risks and make decisions about managing the risks based on conclusions drawn from the analysis. In practice, one begins with data and ends with a business decision. The book flows logically from this principle. It begins with a framework for model building and a description of frequency and severity loss data typically available to actuaries. Parametric models are emphasized throughout.
The frequency and severity models are used in building aggregate loss models, in credibility-based pricing models, and in loss analysis over multiple time periods.
Designed as both an educational text as well as a professional reference, Loss Models: Assumes little prior knowledge of insurance systemsFeatures many fascinating examples taken from insurance filesContains a major instructive case study continued through each chapterCovers the classical areas of risk theory and loss distributionsGives a practical but rigorous treatment of modern credibility theoryUses standard statistical concepts, methods, and notationProvides modern computational algorithms for implementing methodsIncludes free companion software available from an FTP siteDeals with many topics on CAS 4B and SOA 151 and 152 actuarial examsIncludes many exercises based on past CAS and SOA exams.Format:Hardcover
