Description

There are books on R and books on modern statistical methods, but very few books on both, and fewer still that are accessible to the newcomer and focused on actuarial applications.  R for Actuaries and Data Scientists is designed to fill this void.

Written in a light, conversational style, this book will show you how to install and get up to speed with R in no time.  It will also give you an overview of the key modeling techniques in modern data science including generalized linear models, decision trees, and random forests, and illustrates the use of these techniques with real datasets from insurance.

Engaging and at times funny, this book will be valuable for both newcomers to R and experienced practitioners who would like a better understanding of how R can be applied in insurance.

R for Actuaries and Data Scientists textbook comes with a digital supplement. This supplement contains solutions to all the problems in the book and is available to everyone who purchases this book.
