It isn't possible to operate a risk business without a thorough understanding of its liabilities. Modern insurance businesses rely on reserve models to: establish bottom-line profit for each accounting period; price new business effectively; report to relevant statutory authorities; understand the risk associated with the estimates of liability; and  manage the capital commitment to the business of its owners. Loss reserving methodology has evolved over 50 years or so, from models of a strictly heuristic nature in the early years to properly formulated stochastic models more recently, and has evolved further in the very recent past into machine learning models. Loss reserving is often viewed as a necessary evil, divorced from the excitement of the marketplace, and dull in nature. Greg Taylor shows you that the statistical processes underlying it, and the associated modelling challenges, can lead you down stimulating by-ways.
