讲座简介: | We actuarial modelers often do not give much thought to actuarial modelling. Instead, we tend to focus on actuarial models and their mathematical and technical aspects, and on how they are applied to insurance. However, in my view we might want to pay a lot more attention to the process of modelling and ask ourselves what kind of models that may reproduce the characteristics of the data we intend to fit, what properties we want a model to have, and if we do select a model how useful it is in insurance practice (to name a few), before analyzing a specific model. In this talk, I will share some of my thoughts on actuarial modelling and use a modelling example to elaborate these thoughts. |
