Description: This paper discusses the numerical stability of Panjer's recursion in computing aggregate claims distributions. From Actuarial Research Clearing House 1993, VOL. 1.

Description: This panel discussion session focused on the practical applications of risk theory.

Description: Abstract for the paper which gives a unified approach to modern credibility models by using the theory of estimating functions.

Description: This paper is an attempt to examine transmission and incubation period models. Results are used to estimate the risk of HIV+ exposure of an individual company and the resulting reserve needs. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1989, Vol. 41.

Description: This paper by the SOA Committee on HIV research builds on past work to show three projections of the future of the AIDS epidemic. These scenarios can provide information to actuaries in considering the financial impact of AIDS for life and health insurance. The paper develops general population AIDS mortality rates related to the three scenarios. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1990, Vol. 42.

Description: This paper studies mortality differences between right and left-handed professional baseball players by examining the times of, and ages of, death of more than 6,000 players who died before 1990.

Description: In this paper, the authors take an axiomatic approach to characterize insurance prices in a competitive market setting. Four axioms are presented to describe the behavior of market insurance prices. From these axioms it follows that the price of an insurance risk has a Choquet integral representation with respect to a distorted probability.

Description: Presented at June 1985 Spring Meeting. This session presented the methods by which the E&E system strives to meet the educational needs of Canadian students, and allowed discussion as to whether the effort is successful and sufficient.

Description: Presented at October 1985 Annual Meeting. This session focused on three projects funded by the Actuarial Education and Research Fund: risk models, operations research applications for actuaries and probability modeling of losses.

Description: This article provides an an alternate, statistical approach, to graduation. Both single and multiple decrement models are considered and theoretical results are obtained for some specific mortality models. From: ACTUARIAL RESEARCH CLEARING HOUSE, 1979 VOL. 2.
