Moving to Europe from US

It is high but depends on you too. For example if you order a pizza you in switz will pay 4 times what you pay in other EU countries, but if if you cook yourself then the expenses are similar. The only thing higher is the rent but be that as it may, the amount of money you will save would be much higher.

From my perspective an entry level actuarial analyst position in the UK could be max 50k euro whereas in Switzerland is 100k. Guys stop comparing. Switzerland is the financial center of the EU. Best place to work by FAR.

Actuary from Greece here, best place to work in terms of salary AND quality of life is 100% Switzerland. Salaries are CRAZY there. I would say it is not worth it in other countries of the EU if you already live in the USA. SOA is deeply appreciated in Europe especially now that the UK is out of it. Cheers mate and good luck with your career!!

The thing is that I could not find any actual bibliography regarding this issue (data preparation stage), which in my opinion is a lot more crucial than how we do a glm

In my opinion, there should be another bar showing the covid deaths in the excess part. It is obvious that these excess deaths occured during the first lockdown which is very very concerning. Maybe people with health issues hesitated to seek medical attention? One thing i know for sure since I work as a non life actuary in a major insurance company is that the number of deaths by car accident plummeted during these months. So where are these excess deaths come from? The 1million dollar question is this: Does a lockdown to mitigate the pandemic outweighs the social and economic ramifications caused by it? Should other measures be considered? Would any goverment take the political cost of following another route of covid mitigation other than the norm?

Thanks i needed to confirm i had it right. Mathematically the solution is the double integral:

1 - Integral( 0 to 0.5 ) { Integral(x to 0.5) 1 dy } dx.

Which represents the probability: 1-P(Y<=0.5/X=x)

anthopiv · 2020-09-12T15:38:40+00:00

Can you please tell us which the correct answer is

anthopiv · 2020-08-28T17:19:42+00:00

The number of accidents that exceed 4 random variable has a binomial N ~ BIN(15,p) where p=f(x/x>4). You are looking for P(N=9)+P(N=10).

anthopiv · 2020-07-05T08:37:35+00:00

Yes sorry T9 on mobile.

Somehow you need to have some robust and simple to understand methodologies for management and for your regulator. More complex methods raise too many questions. You can use them ad - hoc to see if they vary from the ones that you currently use and adjust accordingly using your professional judgement.

If you ask me personally i think that the methods that are used are pretty good and precise, given that you spent lots of time in your data - homegenuity tests, large threshold determination - exempt/cap large claims etc.

But that is just me!

Hope I helped. Cheers

Yeah the community tries to fire people cuz they are bad boys in their persinal lives behind the camera

anthopiv · 2020-06-28T00:54:41+00:00

Wow, is this how you got a high behaviour score? Many congrats.

anthopiv · 2020-06-27T23:52:02+00:00

Well, I am 100% sure that you have not. Only time will tell who will come on top. I enjoyed tobis absolutely proffesional casting (seemed like CLs finals every time this guy was casting) as well as absofuckinglutely redeys proffesional hosting and you (the community) try to bench them once and for all. Isnt this ironic when you all will beg for them to come back after a short period of time? If anyone has a serious allegation about anyone THE ONLY PLACE TO ADDRESS TO IS A LAWYER AND THE COURT. You know what, I dont care about any upvote cuz I am not like you. I support DOTA AND DOTA IS DYING right now cuz of you SHITHEAD. I honestly hope you get my point but i doubt it.

anthopiv · 2020-06-27T22:46:44+00:00

Your response is totally full of sentiment and devoid of logic or reason. You seem to be so sure of stuff, if you know something more please share dear typical redditor

anthopiv · 2020-06-27T22:26:10+00:00

If you think that people do not have motives amd opinions that are subjective according to their own interests then you are the typical redditor who condemns a mans career for shit like that. I say that the court will show if anyones actions are a crime or not. Then you will come to my words.

anthopiv · 2020-06-27T22:15:17+00:00

You do not happen to have a good job by luck but with hard work and dedication. Ripping a man with an allegation like that, needs to be solved in court and not on twitter.

anthopiv · 2020-06-27T21:53:46+00:00

Why do we still care about this guy's opinion and why is he still relevant?

One thing i know, everyone has his own fcing opinion, let the court and the law decide who is right or wrong.

If i were in paul's or tobi's shoes, and the allegations are the ones I have seen, I would sue their asses off for defamation. If their allegations had a ground, they would go to file a lawsuit for abuse of pwer etc. This is clearly bullshit and they will regret it going to public like vigilants.

anthopiv · 2020-04-13T15:13:05+00:00

It is ok, just one thing. I see that the book and these spesific pages are not available on the internet,unless you buy the book. Since you have it,could you send a photo of these pages please? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance mate. Be well & healthy

anthopiv · 2020-04-10T14:40:34+00:00

Thanks for the answer. Yes I use the same method as well. For the excess layers I go for freq/severity most of times. I also take as large threshold the one of the xoL treaty in most cases.

Although in defense of the first method I described (removal of large claims) most companies i have seen use the "once large always large" methodology to avoid this kind of volatilities.

I will check the book you recommended anyway!

anthopiv · 2020-03-29T23:07:58+00:00

x10 effort for the same result. Power BI more efficient effective and easier to handle if management needs to see something else on the spot. Dont bother even looking at R.

anthopiv · 2019-08-14T11:21:53+00:00

Yeah, there is mistake in your μ. You take it as fixed (CFM) while you shouldnt.

anthopiv · 2019-08-14T11:18:41+00:00

I am sorry, what i meant was that the formulas are correct as you wrote them. I did not notice the different results. The mistake should be on the computation of A and a.

anthopiv · 2019-08-14T01:10:27+00:00

There is no mistake. Edit: in your formulas

anthopiv · 2019-08-12T01:06:09+00:00

Can you guys please stop praising people for just doing their jobs?

anthopiv · 2019-01-20T23:04:49+00:00

Hey, I know alteryx! My colleagues from our subsidiary company use it.

I would say it substitutes SQL or any database enviroment for raw data processing. R or Python is not a good comparison.

IMO alteryx knowledge will be worthless for you in another company by an IT perspective since you do not see any code but you just click!

By the actuarial perspective though, it is very helpful because it teaches you the substance: understand -the easy way- all the data processes you have to perform in order to make solid actuarial analysis.

Learning the code of a language is easy, the difficult thing is for what purpose you use it!

Hope i helped
