A Hands-On Approach to Understanding and Using Actuarial Models Computational Actuarial Science with R provides an introduction to the computational aspects of actuarial science. Using simple R code, the book helps you understand the algorithms involved in actuarial computations. It also covers more advanced topics, such as parallel computing and C/C++ embedded codes. After an introduction to the R language, the book is divided into four parts. The first one addresses methodology and statistical modeling issues. The second part discusses the computational facets of ... Read more

Reviews for Computational Actuarial Science with R
... the main objective of the book is that the reader gets interested in the topic and plays with the presented models and R codes in an active way. I have experienced that this goal can be easily reached for a large audience of readers because the presentation of the various arguments encourages an active learning of the concepts `without ...
