Learning Outcomes:
  • Students will be able to work with key concepts concerning parametric and non-parametric models including single life, multiple life and multiple decrements.
  • Students will be able to perform calculations on present value random variables associated with benefits and expenses for different survival models.
  • Students will be able to calculate and interpret probabilities, means, variances and percentiles for the present value random variable.
  • Students will be able to calculate the effect of changes in underlying assumptions such as mortality and interest on the present value random variable.
