Predictive Modeling Applications in Actuarial Science

Data and associated R code is available at: http://instruction.bus.

It is a gooD book introducinG many modern models and aproaches to everdyday problem of someone involved with insurance industries, they are self contained within each chapter so in case you need to read any particular approach to problem there is no problem, explanations are clear, do not expect something easy to understand because o this, the content is at a high mathematical level, but most of the techniques involve applications through software, especially R , so it is a good book on it's own.

Predictive modeling has become a hot topic in light of the new era of Big Data that is emerging. It occupies a unique position at the intersection of traditional statistical methods and machine learning algorithms.
