Teaching results
The aim of the course is to provide knowledge of the stochastic approach to modeling life insurance products. The valuation of premiums, reserves and life insurance risks is performed using appropriately selected functions of a random variable. The graduate of the course will obtain:
Knowledge and understanding
- knowledge of modeling risks, premiums and reserves in life insurance using the random variable function,
- knowledge of mortality models and modeling the mortality risk,
- knowledge of modeling the stochastic interest rate.
Skills
- students will be able to value insurance premiums and reserves based on a stochastic approach,
- students will be able to express the loss or profit of the insurance company and use it in actuarial calculations.
Competence
- knowledge and skills that can be used to expand knowledge of the issue of the stochastic approach to modeling in life insurance.
