Loss Data Analytics: Edition Two Strategy
A New Edition
Date: 29 October 2022
The first edition of Loss Data Analytics was completed in August 2018; some might say that the development was organic. We managed to get 19 authors from 8 countries in more or less in the same direction; the product is a free online book that was written in R and is hosted on Github.
In revising the book for the second edition, we now have the advantage of seeing the book in its entirety. We can use this base to promote cooperation and consistency among chapters. We did well with consistency of notation in the first edition but can now think strategically about how to develop topics within the book and how to make them accessible for different readerships.
A working group (dubbed the Steering Committee) has developed a set of principles to guide authors and editors that we hope will lead to a new and better version of Loss Data Analytics. These principles apply to all chapters and appendices.
The group’s entire report is available using this download button: . This report provides not only general principles but also chapter by chapter advice for improving Loss Data Analytics.
