Actuarial science has been built on the idea of open-science with a rich repository of papers, monographs and studies made freely available by the CAS. Recently, CAS launched a GitHub organization, enabling the open-science philosophy to be extended to open-source tooling. This session will explore the most popular package on the CAS GitHub Community: chainladder-python. It will be a hands-on session that explores how this Python package can perform common actuarial tasks, such as triangle manipulation, reserves estimates, even stochastic modeling. We encourage attendees to follow along through Google Colab.
All you need is an internet-connected laptop and a free Google account, no other prior set up is required.
