Nancy Reid is University Professor and Canada Research Chair in Statistical Methodology at the University of Toronto. Statistical methods and the application of probability theory are essential to the understanding of data and underlying processes in a very wide variety of fields, including health sciences, economics and finance, social science, (see, e.g., Wall Street Journal 2013, an earlier New York Times article, this YouTube clip from Google and the Maths Careers website; the Wall Street Journal's report on Best Jobs has Mathematician, Statistician and Actuary all in the top ten!). Proposals are welcome from sociology, anthropology, history, political science, policy studies, finance, and management sciences. Section 5 discusses the similarities and differences between both pricing theories and also reviews credibility theory in actuarial science, which aims at deriving the premium of an insurance contract that balances the experience of an individual risk with the class risk experience. He published the monumental Theory of Probability in 1939, which remained for many years the only explanation of how to use Bayes to do science.

To yield theoretical insights and perspectives on practice, and seek methodological pluralism and tolerance. Although Bayes' rule drew the attention of the greatest statisticians of the twentieth century, some of them vilified both the method and its adherents, crushed it, and declared it dead. But after a year of trying different things, he realized that the Bayesian actuarial methods worked better than frequentist methods. By the time the Theory of Moral Sentiments appeared, sophisticated methods for pricing contingent claims, such as the life annuities sold by various individuals, municipalities and national governments in western Europe, had As such, there is a close connection between the classical histories of financial economics, statistics, and actuarial science. He wrote a paper that strikes at a fundamental tenet of actuarial science: diversification. Around 30 pre- and postdoctoral researchers are working under the supervision of 10 full-time professors, in a variety of fields of methodological and applied statistics, including biostatistics and actuarial sciences. In particular, pricing a Thus the dynamic EB methodology provides a unified statistical approach to credit portfolios and credibility theory, and Section 7 provides further discussion and concluding remarks. The paper shows that the time averages of all portfolios have some nasty theoretical properties(http://arxiv.org/abs/1209.4517). Mathematics also happens to be the foundation for accounting, finance and the ever mysterious field of actuarial science (essential to the insurance industry). We are attempting to set up a reserving package in R so that actuaries can play with new methodologies as they are published.
