Loss Data Analytics: Short Course Development Strategy

Short courses to be authored by the Actuarial Community

Overview

Date: 07 September 2021

This site outlines a strategy to develop short courses based on a foundation of non-life insurance that we call loss data analytics.

• Part 1 summarizes the short course proposal that outlines the development strategy.
• Part 2 provides instructions for contributors. The goal is to promote consistency among chapters and, later on, courses, this section describes a number of best practices. These are guidelines to be observed, not strict rules.
• Part 3 provides a general call for volunteers as well as thoughts on strategies we might adopt to develop our short course model.

Supporting Sites

• The open and free Loss Data Analytics textbook.
• A Regression Modeling Online Tutorial that we mimic (and later, will improve upon).
• Work on the development of the first course has already begun. See the latest draft of our Loss Data Analytics Short Course.
• Github repositories contain the source files for these materials.
