Description: Because actuaries fit models for a variety of situations, particularly with regard to data modifications, it is useful to have a single approach. Though not optimal or exact for a particular model or data structure, the method should be reasonable for most all settings. Such a method is proposed in this article. Actuarial Research Clearing House 2003, VOL. 1

Description: This session will explore the practical aspects of bringing models to production, maintenance and management through its entire lifespan. Topics covered will include: production considerations, versioning, documentation, peer review and monitoring the model over its lifespan.
