Computational Actuarial Science with R

Book Overview

This book demystifies the computational aspects of actuarial science, showing that even complex computations can usually be done without too much trouble. Using simple R code, the book helps readers understand the algorithms involved in actuarial computations. It also covers more advanced topics, such as parallel computing and C/C++ embedded codes. Datasets used in the text are available in an R package (CASdatasets).
