{"product_id":"9781316718728","title":"Predictive Modeling Applications in Actuarial Science: Volume 2, Case Studies in Insurance","description":"Predictive modeling uses data to forecast future events. It exploits relationships between explanatory variables and the predicted variables from past occurrences to predict future outcomes. Forecasting financial events is a core skill that actuaries routinely apply in insurance and other risk-management applications. Predictive Modeling Applications in Actuarial Science emphasizes life-long learning by developing tools in an insurance context, providing the relevant actuarial applications, and introducing advanced statistical techniques that can be used to gain a competitive advantage in situations with complex data. Volume 2 examines applications of predictive modeling. Where Volume 1 developed the foundations of predictive modeling, Volume 2 explores practical uses for techniques, focusing on property and casualty insurance. Readers are exposed to a variety of techniques in concrete, real-life contexts that demonstrate their value and the overall value of predictive modeling, for seasoned practicing analysts as well as those just starting out.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47124304429296,"sku":"9781316718728","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781316718728_p0.jpg?v=1763707373","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781316718728","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
