Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to apply probabilistic-statistical methods in solving fundamental problems of actuarial science and non-life insurance, such as modeling of number and amount of claims, individual and collective risk models and use of credit theory methods.
The student who has successfully completed the course is able to: correctly assess the real problem in the insurance practice and choose the right computational method for its solution, reasonably and convincingly justify and defend the choice of this method, correctly apply the method using MS Excel or appropriate statistical program package procedures and correctly interpret the results of the application, correctly use the results obtained to reduce actuarial risk.
Prerequisites
unspecified

Assessment methods and criteria
