This course has been conceived by actuaries for actuaries, accounting for all the specificities of insurance data instead of simply re-using standard recipes borrowed from other fields.
The training proceed step by step, recalling the fundamental statistical concepts at the heart of tree-based methods. Their relative merits are illustrated by means of several case studies with insurance data.
The sessions aim to be interactive, alternating between methodological parts and case studies performed in front of the audience.
Participants are invited to bring their own PC. Documentation including data sets and R code is made available through a supporting website. The installation of R packages prior to attendance is required.
