Effective Statistical Learning Methods for Actuaries I: GLMs and Extensions by Michel DenuitEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2019 | 452 Pages | ISBN : 303025819X | 31.58 MB
This book summarizes the state of the art in generalized linear models (GLMs) and their various extensions: GAMs, mixed models and credibility, and some nonlinear variants (GNMs). In order to deal with tail events, analytical tools from Extreme Value Theory are presented. Going beyond mean modeling, it considers volatility modeling (double GLMs) and the general modeling of location, scale and shape parameters (GAMLSS). Actuaries need these advanced analytical tools to turn the massive data sets now at their disposal into opportunities.
