Probability and statistics for actuarial and quantitative risk

Probability and statistics provide the language of quantitative risk: distributions, estimation, dependence, testing and uncertainty. On this platform they underpin loss modelling, credibility, mortality and validation, and show how much confidence each estimate deserves.

What probability and statistics does here.

Probability and statistics provide the mathematical framework for describing uncertainty and learning from data. They underpin estimation, testing and prediction in every risk discipline. In insurance and catastrophe, methods and modelling and capital markets and investment, statistical methods quantify the likelihood and uncertainty of losses across interconnected pergalan. They make the evidence behind risk decisions explicit and reproducible. The canonical description is on the STEM Commons.

Generalised linear models in pricing

Claim frequency and severity are related to risk factors with exposure offsets, so each factor’s effect and uncertainty can be reviewed.

Bayesian credibility

Prior assumptions from industry data are updated with own experience, giving posterior estimates that show how far the data moved the prior.

Goodness-of-fit testing

Fitted distributions are tested with formal statistics and quantile plots, with attention to fit in the tail where it matters most.

05Loss model

Loss exceedance, average annual loss and probable maximum loss.

The loss a portfolio in the footprint can expect per year and at the 1 in 100 and 1 in 250 levels that insurers and lenders price, from the same three blocks every catastrophe model uses. Teaching model with stated illustrative values, not a prediction.

How results are checked.

Results are checked through diagnostics, cross-validation and sensitivity to assumptions. Independent replication confirms findings.

Kontrol bikinHow it is done
Out-of-sample validationModels are tested on data not used for fitting
Residual diagnosticsResiduals are inspected for structure
Assumption sensitivityDistributional assumptions are varied and effects reported

Inference depends on assumptions about independence, distribution and sampling that may not hold. Small or biased samples limit reliability.

07Exposure, loss and capital

What it means for exposure, loss and capital.

The exposure, loss, scenario and capital views a risk officer, supervisor or ministry of finance would ask for, with the frameworks they report against. Structures follow supervisory and actuarial practice. Values are illustrative: never prices, ratings or advice.

Exposure and loss at return periods

How losses from probability and statistics for actuarial and quantitative risk grow with severity, gross and net of reinsurance, against capital.
