Description: Discussion of the biases understatement of risk/reserves that arise when aggregating cells in modeling Variable Annuity Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefits

Description: One of the first projects undertaken by Claim Analytics was to create a model to predict return to work for group insurance claimants with long term disabilities. This report, sponsored in part by the Society of Actuaries Health Section , is a case study on creating such a model.

Description: Explores the applications and techniques of model governance, focusing on benefits such as model literacy, efficiency, and confidence.

Description: The April 2016 Issue of The Modeling Platform

Description: A summary of Modeling Section-sponsored sessions at the 2016 Life/Annuity Symposium, covering model risk management, model governance, and model efficiency.

Description: November 2017 issue of The Modeling Platform by the Modeling Section. Practical information for actuaries, trends that impact section, section activities.

Description: A study on stochastic simulation literature as it applies to a health actuary.

Description: Summary of the health section council’s research project to assess the accuracy of commonly used IBNR estimation methods over a wide range of scenarios.

Description: Products that serve consumers are increasingly complex, creating a real need to help management understand risk exposure in real time. The root of the dilemma is that modeling the entire population, which is feasible with sophisticated computing technology, simply does not offer a practical response time. New modeling techniques such as replicated stratified sampling may help executives better understand risk.
