FRE-GY 6243 Credibility and Loss

3 Credits
This course deals with actuarial models and the estimation of their parameters. Statistical parameter estimation techniques and Bayesian methods are used to study and interpret survival models. Quantitative methods for model selection and model testing are introduced. The basics of credibility theory provide the mathematical tools for an insurer’s prospective experience rating on a risk or a group of risks (e.g., to justify policy prices). Finally, model simulation techniques are treated in theory and practice.

Prerequisite(s): FRE-GY 6223  and matriculation into a graduate program sponsored by the Department of Finance & Risk Engineering, or permission of the Department
