Nonlife Actuarial Models

‘This book covers the body of knowledge required by the Society of Actuaries (SOA) for its Fundamentals of Actuarial Mathematics Exam (Sections for short-term coverages) starting from 2023. I believe that it is an ideal textbook for a semester course on the introduction of short-term actuarial mathematics. It is also useful for self-study candidates preparing for the actuarial professional exams.’ Wai-Sum Chan, Ph.D., FSA, HonFIA, CERA Dean, School of Decision Sciences, The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong‘I taught a statistical modeling course with applications in Actuarial Science. I use this book because it strikes a fine balance for readers who are preparing for Exam C of the Society of Actuaries and for readers who want to pick up skills in statistical modeling. Professor Tse is commended for expertly packing and streamlining a lot of materials (theory, methods, and empirical implementation) of nonlife actuarial models into this book. A welcome change of the second edition is the adoption of R as the computation tool.’ Kwok Pui Choi, National University of Singapore
