I just returned from Seattle, where I was attending the AAIM Triennial Conference. For the 3rd time, I taught the Basic Mortality Methodology Course. It went very well and was well received by the group. Further, there were a couple of excellent sessions on analytics and big data applied to life insurance.
During this conference I was asked by several attendees and colleagues how they might further their study and understanding of mortality analysis. Some even broaden that to ask about data analysis in general, because it is becoming a more prominent skill in the world of life insurance.
So, in this post I will cite some of my favorite resources. Some are aimed at delivering a high-level understanding of analytics, while others are more technical, teaching you how to actually perform the analyses.
