MSc Programme in Actuarial Mathematics
MSc Programme in Mathematics-Economics
The aim of the class is to show how standard and not so standard statistical models can be extended to include random parameters. In insurance this is useful when policyholders can naturally be segmented into groups, so that policies within a group are not independent. For actual solutions of these models numerical integration is often required, but sometimes analytical results are available and we shall pursue some of these. During the course the students will use R programs with some data from insurance. Some more basic programming will also be required.
4 hours of lectures and 2 hours of exercises a week for 7 weeks
