Gareth W. Peters is an Australian endowed chair professor of actuarial science at the University of California, Santa Barbara [1] and an honorary professor of statistics at University College London. [2] As at 2024, he is also a member of the international advisory board of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics. [3]
Actuarial credibility describes an approach used by actuaries to improve statistical estimates. Although the approach can be formulated in either a frequentist or Bayesian statistical setting, the latter is often preferred because of the ease of recognizing more than one source of randomness through both "sampling" and "prior" information.
James Hickman was born on August 27, 1927, in Indianola, Iowa.His father (also named James C. Hickman) owned a small shop on the town's square. Hickman went to Simpson College where he earned his bachelor's degree in mathematics with an emphasis in actuarial science in 1950.
Graduate Texts in Mathematics (GTM) (ISSN 0072-5285) is a series of graduate-level textbooks in mathematics published by Springer-Verlag.The books in this series, like the other Springer-Verlag mathematics series, are yellow books of a standard size (with variable numbers of pages).
In actuarial science and applied probability, ruin theory (sometimes risk theory [1] or collective risk theory) uses mathematical models to describe an insurer's vulnerability to insolvency/ruin. In such models key quantities of interest are the probability of ruin, distribution of surplus immediately prior to ruin and deficit at time of ruin.
