About the Author:
This book is meant to serve as a textbook for students seeking careers in insurance, actuarial science, or finance. ... The author provides a variety of worked examples in each chapter to illustrate the main ideas, with an emphasis on those of more numerical and practical nature. Although good references for further reading are provided, basic knowledge in probability and statistics is required. This book will also serve as a nice reference for an insurance analyst.
―Technometrics, February 2009, Vol. 51, No. 1
... There are not many other books that cover actuarial topics based on statistical methods in so complete a way as this one. ... this book is quite adequate as a companion book for anyone in involved with the mathematical concepts of statistics and probability models in actuarial science, and it is essential in a university library where these topics are taught.
―Journal of Applied Statistics, 2007
This book is aimed both at students of actuarial science and related subjects and at insurance and actuarial practitioners. ... The treatment is clear throughout, with an ample supply of problems and worked examples. The book would be useful both for teachers of actuarial science and for self-study.
―N.H. Bingham, Imperial College, International Statistical Review, 2007
... The book has grown out of lecture notes and gives an overview on mathematical techniques used in actuarial practice. The main focus of the book is general insurance (property and casualty insurance, nonlife insurance). Besides theory, the book gives many exercises and presents R code.
