Course content
- Finite variation processes
- Markov processes
- Semi-Markov processes
- Martingale methods in life insurance
- Inference for models of counting processes
MSc Programme in Actuarial Mathematics
Knowledge:
Stochastic processs and methods applied in life insurance models.
Skills:
At the end of the course, the students are expected to be able
to
- Apply theorems on stochastic processes of finite variation, including theorems on counting processes,
- Markov chains, integral processes, martingales.
- Analyse Markov chain models and derive Thiele differential equation for reservs using martingale methods.
- Analyse extended models and derive differential equations for reservs.
- Analyse statistical parametric life history models.
- Analyse statistical nonparametric life history models.
Competences:
To make the student operational and to give the student knowledge
in application of stochastic processes in life
insurance.
Blended teaching and learning: 4 hours of video lectures per week for 7 weeks. Worksheets with exercises/problem solving will be provided for the students for in-depth engagement with the course material. There will be regular meetings with the lecturer for discussions of the course material and the exam.
VidSand1 no later than at the same time. Otherwise similar
prerequisites.
Academic qualifications equivalent to a BSc degree is
recommended.
This course is only available for students enrolled in the MSc Programme in Actuarial Mathematics in the study year 2023/24 and earlier.
Upon active participation in meetings for discussions of the course material.
