Education
MSc Programme in Mathematics-Economics
MSc Programme in Actuarial Mathematics
Content
Elements of marked point process theory; parametric modeling and inference for multi-state claims reserving models; implementation of estimation procedures in R; practical issues related to valuation and pricing of health and disability insurance.
Learning Outcome
Knowledge:
- Insight into selected aspects of marked point process theory.
- Insight into the role and limitations of the classic multi-state framework for life insurance.
- In-depth understanding of theory regarding claims reserving in multi-state models with a focus on health and disability insurance schemes.
- In-depth understanding of statistical methods for intensity estimation in the presence of delays and contamination.
Skills: Ability to
- Compute claims reserves for health and disability insurance schemes.
- Estimate parameters of multi-state claims reserving models via for example likelihood methods.
- Implement the necessary computations in R.
Competences: Ability to
- Select and interpret appropriate claims reserving models for health and disability insurance schemes.
