Credibility modeling is a proven approach for analyzing unique product designs. This text presents a wide variety of credibility models and, in so doing, traces the historical development of the subject. The Bayesian approach to credibility is emphasized.
The text concentrates on basic statistical concepts, leaving both practical issues and more sophisticated theoretical concepts for a more advanced treatment elsewhere. It contains worked examples, a large number of end-of-chapter exercises and an extensive bibliography.
The third edition of this text has been strengthened by the addition of more case studies and practical applications of credibility theory presented in the Appendix.
This text has been named as an alternatively acceptable reference in preparing for the Society of Actuaries Exam C and the Casualty Actuarial Society Exam 4.
