Reserving in Non-Life Insurance
Course content
Introduction of the claims reserving problem.
Topics could include but are not limited to:
- Reserving methods based on a loss triangle. Chainladder and various extensions. Stochastic methods including Mack's model and generalized linear models and other flexible structures. Uncertainty quantification both analytically and via bootstrap.
- Reserving methods based on a loss triangle and additional data.
- Granular claims reserving methods based on marked point processes.
- Machine learning methods for claims reserving.
- Model selection and backtesting.
MSc Programme in Actuarial Mathematics

4 hours of lectures and 2 hours of exercises per week for 7 weeks.
Lecture notes and research papers, which are made available on Absalon.
Non-life insurance 2 (Skade 2) or similar. A class in regression
is very useful. It is possible to follow the class without these,
but of course it will be more demanding.
Academic qualifications equivalent to a BSc degree is
recommended.
