    Open Source Actuarial Science

    • Overview

    Description

    PLEASE NOTE: REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE 10 AM ET THE DAY OF THE WEBINAR.
    DUE TO HIGH VOLUME OF DEMAND, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO GUARANTEE A SEAT TO THOSE WHO REGISTER 48 HOURS AHEAD OF THE WEBINAR TIME.

    Actuarial science has been built on the idea of open-science with a rich repository of papers, monographs and studies made freely available by the CAS. Recently the CAS launched a Github organization, enabling the open-science philosophy to be extended to open-source tooling. This session will explore the benefits of open-source tools, how and why we should get involved. We will also dive deeper into the chainladder-python library to give a practical example of how these tools and the community that surround them can benefit you and your organization. We encourage attendees’ participation through Google Colab where a live demo will be shown. All you need is a Google account, no prior set up is required. Actuarial science has been built on the idea of open-science with a rich repository of papers, monographs and studies made freely available by the CAS.
