Loss Distributions for Actuarial Models

Course Headline: Master Loss Distributions for Actuarial Modeling with MJ the Fellow Actuary 🌟

Course Description: Dive into the world of actuarial science with our comprehensive online course, Loss Distributions for Actuarial Modeling. Taught by the esteemed Michael Jordan (not to be confused with the basketball legend, but equally a maestro in his field!), this course is designed to equip student actuaries with a solid understanding of loss distributions, their properties, and the application of these concepts in real-world scenarios.

What You'll Learn:

• Understanding Loss Distributions:

  • The essential properties of statistical distributions used in modeling individual and aggregate losses.

• Concepts of Risk Sharing:

  • How to handle excesses (deductibles) and retention limits within your models.
  • The intricacies of proportional and excess of loss reinsurance agreements.

• Statistical Tools in R Studio:

  • Master the use of R Studio to derive distributions, calculate moments, and estimate parameters for claim amounts paid by both insurers and reinsurers.
  • Learn to work with data incomplete or complete, applying maximum likelihood and the method of moments to estimate parameters accurately.

• Parameter Estimation:

  • Fit statistical distributions to datasets using R Studio.
  • Calculate goodness of fit measures to ensure your model aligns with real-world data.

• Compound Distributions:

  • Explore the concept of compound distributions and how to represent their moments using child distributions.

Key Features:

• Real-World Applications: Learn through practical examples and case studies that showcase how these principles are applied in the field of actuarial science.

• Hands-On Practice: Engage with interactive exercises, simulations, and real datasets to solidify your understanding of loss distributions and risk sharing mechanisms.

• R Studio Mastery: Gain proficiency in using R Studio for statistical analysis, ensuring you can confidently apply these tools in professional settings.
