Stochastic Processes for Actuarial Applications: In-depth probability theory for modeling claims, mortality, and risk - Softcover
Synopsis
Stochastic processes play a central role in actuarial science, providing the mathematical foundation for modeling uncertainty in insurance, pensions, finance, and risk management. Actuaries work in a world where randomness is not an obstacle but a feature—claims arrive unpredictably, lifetimes follow uncertain paths, and risks evolve dynamically over time. To capture these realities, probability theory must extend beyond simple distributions to processes that evolve across time and states.
This book, Stochastic Processes for Actuarial Applications, is designed to bridge the gap between rigorous probability theory and its practical use in actuarial modeling. It explores key stochastic frameworks such as Poisson processes, Markov chains, renewal processes, and diffusion models, showing how they are applied to claims modeling, mortality projections, survival models, ruin theory, and risk evaluation.
The intent is twofold:
- To provide a solid theoretical foundation—each stochastic model is introduced with mathematical precision, ensuring the reader understands the underlying structure.
- To highlight actuarial applications—through worked examples, case studies, and practical illustrations, readers will see how abstract theory directly connects to pricing, reserving, solvency assessment, and capital modeling.
My hope is that this work empowers readers not only to pass examinations but also to develop an intuitive and applied mastery of stochastic processes. By blending theory with practice, actuaries can make more informed decisions in a world where uncertainty is the only constant.
