Description: Actuaries understand the technical benefits of converting their models to a modern actuarial system, such as new capabilities and upgraded technology. This article highlights additional, non-technical benefits that also come with model conversion. These benefits include advancements in attitudes and capacities among the team and across the company.

Description: This article explains why stochastic modeling is becoming more pervasive, and describes a specific stochastic application with metrics to measure results.

Description: An Overview of Stochastic Simulation modeling techniques and usages

Description: A data format for mortality tables along with applications.

Description: How do you make model output media worthy? This article explores considerations that may contribute to the mass production of model results for public consumption.

Description: This is a record of a session at the October 1975 Annual Meeting of the SOA. It discusses what can be done with a corporate model and how it can be used to solve problems. 1975 Record Vol. 1, No 4.

Description: It is worth the effort to obtain a pricing surface. It helps make an informed decision and facilitate the pricing conversation within and outside a company.

Description: Abstract of Research Project on Interest Rate Risk

Description: In this paper we propose a model that can be used to analyze correlated claims data. In the process we introduce a class of multivariate generalized Poisson distributions. Then we present posterior distributions of its parameters. These distributions are difficult to manipulate, so we employ Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to draw random numbers from posteriors and predictive distributions. We present a collection of EXCEL VBA functions and subroutines to perform the simulations.

Description: Reviewing a text covering multiple statistical modeling topics: e.g., generalized linear models, decision trees, clustering, using the statistical language R.
