Schedule

Live Classes & Subjects

Seminar 1: 12/27
10:00 AM - 2:00 PM EST
Severity, Frequency, and Cost Per Loss v.s. Per Payment Variables
• Severity Models: study the random variable of loss amount, with deductible or limit or both.
• Frequency Models: study the random variable of loss count, with deductible or limit or both. The class of (a,b,0) and (a,b,1) are the main model to master.
• Cost per loss and Cost per payment variables and their probability distributions, expected values, variance.
Seminar 2: 1/3
10:00 AM - 2:00 PM EST
Aggregate Claims, Compound Variables with Modified Distributions
• Aggregate Models: Express an aggregate claim model using primary and secondary distributions. Relate to their parameters or statistics for collective risk models. Recognize and define the distribution of an aggregate claim variable.
• Relations of severity, frequency and aggregate models: Include deductibles and policy limits to modify probability distributions of loss variables to claim variables under inflation.
Seminar 3: 1/10
10:00 AM - 2:00 PM EST
Tail Distributions and Parametric Model Fitting and Testing
• Risk Measures: Define and calculate VaR, and TVaR. Solve related problems in risk measures.
• Parametric Models: Estimate the parameters of failure time and loss distributions using:a) Maximum likelihoodb) Method of momentsc) Percentile matchingd) Bayesian procedures
• Accept or reject a fitted model and/or compare models: by Graphical procedures or one of the following: Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Chi-square goodness-of-fit test, Likelihood ratio test, Schwarz Bayesian Criterion, Akaike Information Criterion
Seminar 4: 1/17
10:00 AM - 2:00 PM EST
Credibility Theory and Applications
• Credibility Theory: Apply limited fluctuation (classical) credibility including criteria for both full and partial credibility. Perform Bayesian analysis using both discrete and continuous models.
• Credibility Theory: Apply Bühlmann and Bühlmann-Straub models and understand the relationship of these to the Bayesian model. Apply conjugate priors in Bayesian analysis and in particular the Poisson-gamma model. Apply empirical Bayesian methods in the nonparametric and semiparametric cases.
Seminar 5: 1/24
10:00 AM - 2:00 PM EST
Rate Making, Reserving, and Insurance Coverages
• Casualty Insurance Topics
• Medical and Dental Coverage, Property and Casualty Coverage
• Pricing: Pure Premium and Loss Ratio
• Reserving: Estimating unpaid losses from a run-off triangle, using
• Chain ladder
• Average cost per claim
• Bornhuetter Ferguson
