All the tools needed to construct and analyze actuarial models for the C/4 actuarial exam

*ERROR*
An update of one of the most trusted books on constructing and analyzing actuarial models for the C/4 actuarial exam

Focusing on material tested in the C/4 actuarial exams, Loss Models: From Data to Decisions, Fourth Edition continues to supply actuaries with a practical approach to the key concepts and techniques needed on the job. With updated material and extensive examples, the book successfully provides the essential methods for using available data to construct models for the frequency and severity of future adverse outcomes.

Additional features of the fourth edition include:

  • Extended discussions of risk management and risk measures, including Tail-Value-at-Risk
  • Expanded coverage of copula models and their estimation
  • New sections on extreme value distributions and their estimations, compound frequency class of distributions, and estimation for the compound class.

Loss Models: From Data to Decisions, Fourth Edition is an essential resource for students and aspiring actuaries who are preparing to take the SOA and CIS preliminary examinations C/4, and anyone who works with loss and risk models in their everyday work.

An essential resource for constructing and analyzing advanced actuarial models

Loss Models: Further Topics presents extended coverage of modeling through the use of tools related to risk theory, loss distributions, and survival models. The book uses these methods to construct and evaluate actuarial models in the fields of insurance and business. Providing an advanced study of actuarial methods, the book features extended discussions of risk modeling and risk measures, including Tail-Value-at-Risk. Loss Models: Further Topics contains additional material to accompany Loss Models: From Data to Decisions, Fourth Edition such as:

  • Extreme value distributions
  • Coxian and related distributions
  • Mixed Erlang distributions
  • Computational and analytical methods for aggregate claim models
  • Counting processes
  • Compound distributions with time-dependent claim amounts
  • Copula models
  • Continuous time ruin models
  • Interpolation and smoothing

The book is an essential reference for practicing actuaries and actuarial researchers who want to go beyond the material required for actuarial qualification. Loss Models: Further Topics is also an excellent resource for graduate students in the actuarial field.
