Loss models
An essential resource for constructing and analyzing advanced actuarial models
Loss Models: Further Topics presents extended coverage of modeling through the use of tools related to risk theory, loss distributions, and survival models. The book uses these methods to construct and evaluate actuarial models in the fields of insurance and business. Providing an advanced study of actuarial methods, the book features extended discussions of risk modeling and risk measures, including Tail-Value-at-Risk. Loss Models: Further Topics contains additional material to accompany the Fourth Edition of Loss Models: From Data to Decisions, such as:
* Extreme value distributions
* Coxian and related distributions
* Mixed Erlang distributions
* Computational and analytical methods for aggregate claim models
* Counting processes
* Compound distributions with time-dependent claim amounts
* Copula models
* Continuous time ruin models
* Interpolation and smoothing
The book is an essential reference for practicing actuaries and actuarial researchers who want to go beyond the material required for actuarial qualification. Loss Models: Further Topics is also an excellent resource for graduate students in the actuarial field.

Probability, Finance And Insurance, Proceedings Of A Workshop
This workshop was the first of its kind in bringing together researchers in probability theory, stochastic processes, insurance and finance from mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and the United States. In particular, as China has joined the WTO, there is a growing demand for expertise in actuarial sciences and quantitative finance. The strong probability research and graduate education programs in many of China's universities can be enriched by their outreach in fields that are of growing importance to the country's expanding economy, and the workshop and its proceedings can be regarded as the first step in this direction.This book presents the most recent developments in probability, finance and actuarial sciences, especially in Chinese probability research. It focuses on the integration of probability theory with applications in finance and insurance. It also brings together academic researchers and those in industry and government. With contributions by leading authorities on probability theory — particularly limit theory and large derivations, valuation of credit derivatives, portfolio selection, dynamic protection and ruin theory — it is an essential source of ideas and information for graduate students and researchers in probability theory, mathematical finance and actuarial sciences, and thus every university should acquire a copy.The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:• Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings)• Index to Social Sciences & Humanities Proceedings® (ISSHP® / ISI Proceedings)• Index to Social Sciences & Humanities Proceedings (ISSHP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings)• CC Proceedings — Engineering & Physical Sciences

Financial and actuarial statistics : an introduction
\"Preface Financial and actuarial modeling is an ever-changing field with an increased reliance on statistical techniques. This is seen in the changing of competency exams, especially at the upper levels, where topics include more statistical concepts and techniques. In the years since the first edition was published statistical techniques such as reliability measurement, simulation, regression, and Markov chain modeling have become more prominent. This influx in statistics has put an increased pressure on students to secure both strong mathematical and statistical backgrounds and the knowledge of statistical techniques in order to have successful careers. As in the first edition, this text approaches financial and actuarial modeling from a statistical point of view. The goal of this text is twofold. The first is to provide students and practitioners a source for required mathematical and statistical background. The second is to advance the application and theory of statistics in financial and actuarial modeling. This text presents a unified approach to both financial and actuarial modeling through the utilization of general status structures. Future timedependent financial actions are defined in terms of a status structure that may be either deterministic or stochastic. Deterministic status structures lead to classical interest and annuity models, investment pricing models, and aggregate claim models. Stochastic status structures are used to develop financial and actuarial models, such as surplus models, life insurance, and life annuity models. This edition is updated with the addition of nomenclature and notations standard to the actuarial field\"--
