Course objectives
The goal of the course is to show advanced methods of mathematical statistics used for modelling in non-life insurance.
Learning outcomes
After completing this course students will be able to:
(1) estimate parameters for models used in non-life insurance;
(2) model dependency of multivariate variables via kopulas;
(3) model extreme and rare events;
(4) basic concepts of Bayesian modeling.
Syllabus
  • Basic concepts of mathematical statistics - point estimates, confidence intervals, hypotheses testing.
  • Estimation methods for complete data - estimates of cumulative distribution function.
  • Parameter estimates - maximum likelihood method, method of moments, Bayesian approach.
  • Model selection - graphical methods, testing hypotheses.
  • Extreme values theory - definition and application of Pareto distribution, parameter estimates.
  • Kopulas - definition, Sklar's theorem, aplications, empirical estimates.
