Description:

This is the only book actuaries will need to understand generalized linear models (GLMs) for insurance applications. GLMs are used in the insurance industry to support critical decisions. Amazingly, no text introduces GLMs in this context or addresses the problems specific to insurance data. Until now. Using insurance data sets, this practical, rigorous book treats GLMs, covers all standard exponential family distributions, extends the methodology to correlated data structures,and discusses recent developments which go beyond the GLM. The focus is on issues which are specific to insurance data, such as model selection in the presence of large data sets and the handling of varying exposure…
