Risk Modelling and Survival Analysis (CS2) Course Content by Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, IFOA
Risk Modelling and Survival Analysis (CS2) builds on CS1. It develops
knowledge of and the ability to apply statistical methods for risk modelling, time
series analysis methods, stochastic processes (especially Markov chains and
Markov jump processes), survival analysis (including regression methods
applied to duration data), and graduation methods It also includes a high-level
introduction to machine learning. The subject includes both theory and
application of the ideas to real data sets using R.
Exam format:
CS2A is 3 hours and 15 minutes exam, CS2B is 1 hour and 45 minutes computer-based exam, R.
Scientific Calculator is allowed in exam. However, you can use only one of the models from the list below. This can also be used for future exams.
