Key subjects
The content is guided by the standards of the DAV. This course provides an introduction to several stochastical and statistical methods of risk modeling and their applications.
Some of the subjects discussed in the lecture are:
- Stochastic processes in risk theory with focus on (compound)
- Poisson processes
- Markov chains and Markov processes
- Introduction to the collective model
- Relevant distribution families in risk theory
- Time Series Analysis
- Life-time models and mortality modeling
- Generalized linear models and their applications in risk theory
- Credibility theory
- Dependencies and Copulas
- Monte Carlo simulations
- Risk measurement using VaR and TVaR
Final exam
The exam is open.
The date of the exam will be announced later in moodle.
Handing in homework is mandatory. The prerequisite to register for an exam will be announced in the lecture. To get points in the homework, it is necessary to be registered in moodle.
Further information
The DAV-certificate "Angewandte Stochastik" can be obtained after passing the final exam at the end of the semester and passing the DAV supplement exam.
