Actuaries are very experienced in modelling financial risks either
stemming from population dynamics or from random events.
Probability theory and statistics is their daily bread. But there
are many other phenomena out in the world without having a direct
financial impact but should be understood by actuaries as well.
This web session is about models which typically are not covered in
full by actuarial exams, but which could bring better insights to
risks actuaries have to price. We will show very general approaches
to set up models with applications from many different areas,
whether it is medicine, construction, meteorology, biology or
others. Of course, this web session can only be seen as an
introduction into modelling and cannot cover all interesting
models, but it should enable participants to find more in
literature or develop their own ideas.
The purpose of the online training is to open the mind for
problems which are by nature not actuarial but are very much linked
to typical actuarial questions. It should enable actuaries and risk
managers to think out of the box and find new ways to solve their
challenges.
This online training is very interactive, participants are
required to participate in several breakout sessions.
