Volume 2 Predictive Modeling Applications in Actuarial Science Call for Proposals
This is a Call for Proposals for Volume 2 - applications of predictive models, focusing on property and casualty insurance, primarily through the use of case studies. Case studies provide a learning experience that is closer to real-world actuarial work than can be provided by traditional self-study or lecture/work settings. They can integrate several analysis techniques, or alternatively can demonstrate that a technique normally used in one practice area could have value in another area. Readers can learn that there is no unique correct answer. Practicing actuaries can be exposed to a variety of techniques in contexts that demonstrates their value. Academic actuaries and students see that there are valid applications for the theoretical material presented in Volume 1.
Volume 1 lays out the foundations of predictive modeling. Beginning with reviews of regression and time series methods, this book provides step-by-step introductions to advanced predictive modeling techniques that are particularly useful in actuarial practice. Readers will gain expertise in several statistical topics, including generalized linear modeling, the analysis of longitudinal, two-part (frequency/severity) and fat-tailed data. Thus, although the audience is primarily professional actuaries, we have in mind a “textbook” approach and so this volume will also be useful for continuing professional development.
The submission deadline is December 31, 2012. Please see the attached document for additional information.
