Following the Sun with Kepler's Model
This short e-book is written for someone who knows a little math, and wants to understand how our Sun moves across the horizon throughout the year. It shows how to calculate the times of the sunrise, sunset and solar noon. It also explains the mathematics underlying the construction of sundials, and shows how to use a sundial to calculate the correct time as you see it on your watch. Starting with Kepler's first two laws of planetary motion, the e-book guides the reader step by step through the calculations described above. It assumes that the reader is comfortable with trigonometry, polar coordinates and introductory calculus.
Predictive Modeling Applications in Actuarial Science
This second volume examines practical real-life applications of predictive modeling to forecast future events with an emphasis on insurance.
Actuarial Sciences and Quantitative Finance
Developed from the Second International Congress on Actuarial Science and Quantitative Finance, this volume showcases the latest progress in all theoretical and empirical aspects of actuarial science and quantitative finance. Held at the Universidad de Cartagena in Cartegena, Colombia in June 2016, the conference emphasized relations between industry and academia and provided a platform for practitioners to discuss problems arising from the financial and insurance industries in the Andean and Caribbean regions. Based on invited lectures as well as carefully selected papers, these proceedings address topics such as statistical techniques in finance and actuarial science, portfolio management, risk theory, derivative valuation and economics of insurance.
Predictive Modeling Applications in Actuarial Science
This book is for actuaries and financial analysts developing their expertise in statistics and who wish to become familiar with concrete examples of predictive modeling.
Computation and Modelling in Insurance and Finance
This practical introduction outlines methods for analysing actuarial and financial risk at a fairly elementary mathematical level suitable for graduate students, actuaries and other analysts in the industry who could use simulation as a problem solver. Numerous exercises with R-code illustrate the text.
Applied Multivariate Research
Using a conceptual, non-mathematical approach, the updated Third Edition provides full coverage of the wide range of multivariate topics that graduate students across the social and behavioral sciences encounter. Authors Lawrence S. Meyers, Glenn Gamst, and A. J. Guarino integrate innovative multicultural topics in examples throughout the book, which include both conceptual and practical coverage of: statistical techniques of data screening; multiple regression; multilevel modeling; exploratory factor analysis; discriminant analysis; structural equation modeling; structural equation modeling invariance; survival analysis; multidimensional scaling; and cluster analysis.
Breaking Into the Big Leagues
A practical guide for those fledgling baseball players with eyes on the major leagues.
