The use of Generalized Linear Models has quickly become the default approach to sophisticated actuarial modeling, particularly for pricing. GLMs are an extension of classic least squares linear models that provide greater flexibility more appropriate to most common actuarial scenarios.
This lesson provides an introduction to GLMs, how they work, and how they’re being used in the actuarial space. The attendees will join the instructor on a walkthrough of an explicit actuarial application of a simple model, with discussion to follow. The lesson is appropriate for aspiring actuaries, exam takers, and anyone who would like to be able to better engage in the GLM discussions in their current companies.
