Many disciplines have developed tools that allow the generation of massive amounts of data, and the ability to use statistical modeling to analyze this data is in high demand. This course will prepare students with the fundamental statistical techniques and real life examples. Generalized linear model will be the main focus, but advanced models, such as CART and data clustering, will be discussed as well. Students will gain a thorough understanding of predictive modeling and its applications (in particular in the field of insurance), and will be well prepared for professional work.

MATH 610 - Enterprise Risk Mgmt Exam
Credits: Three (3)
Prerequisite: Exam P or Exam FM or ACSC-522 or MATH-522
This course covers part of the syllabus of the Enterprise Risk Management exam offered by Society of Actuaries. The course serves as an introduction to Enterprise Risk Management. It will define and categorize different types of risks an entity faces, and define an ERM framework. Ways to measure and quantify the risk, such as (principle based) Economic Capital, Value at Risk (VaR), and stress scenarios will be analyzed and compared. The course will conclude with applications of these methods in a case study of an insurance company and recent regulatory developments such as ORSA (Own risk solvency assessment).
