Statistical Foundations of Actuarial Learning and its Applications

“I enjoyed reading this book. The mathematical methods presented are precisely suited to analyzing questions, solving problems, and drawing meaningful conclusions. The authors provide recommendations for further reading, allowing readers to deepen their knowledge if needed. The clarity of the exposition, combined with the interplay between statistical and machine learning approaches to model selection, estimation, and prediction, make this book an outstanding resource. I highly recommend it to both researchers and practitioners in statistical modeling.” (Olivier Menoukeu Pamen, SIAM Review, Issue 3, September, 2025)
