David C. M. Dickson, University of Melbourne ‘All in all, this is a nice textbook, especially for students with a limited background in probability. In particular, it should be useful for students studying for the professional examination ... I am not aware of any book on the same level in which ruin theory is treated so deeply.’ Journal of the American Statistical Association

The International Series on Actuarial Science, published by Cambridge University Press in conjunction with the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, contains textbooks for students taking courses in or related to actuarial science, as well as more advanced works designed for continuing professional development or for describing and synthesizing research. The series is a vehicle for publishing books that reflect changes and developments in the curriculum, that encourage the introduction of courses on actuarial science in universities, and that show how actuarial science can be used in all areas where there is long-term financial risk.
Financial Enterprise Risk Management
Regression Modeling with Actuarial and Financial Applications
Paul Sweeting, University of Kent, Canterbury
Edward W. Frees, University of Wisconsin, Madison
Financial Enterprise Risk Management provides all the tools needed to build and maintain a comprehensive ERM framework. It covers a range of qualitative and quantitative techniques that can be used to identify, model and measure risks, and describes a range of risk mitigation strategies. Over 100 diagrams are used to help describe the range of approaches available, and risk management issues are further highlighted by various case studies. This book is an excellent resource for actuarial students studying for examinations, for risk management practitioners and for any academic looking for an up-to-date reference to current techniques.
In addition to the fundamentals, this book describes several advanced statistical topics that are particularly relevant to actuarial and financial practice, including the analysis of longitudinal, two-part (frequency/severity), and fat-tailed data.
