Estimating Unpaid Claims Using Basic Techniques

The Casualty Actuarial Society has released “Estimating Unpaid Claims Using Basic Techniques” as a comprehensive resource for practicing actuaries and actuarial candidates. Authored by Jacqueline Frank Friedland, the new text consolidates numerous papers that addressed estimating unpaid claims on the CAS basic education syllabus. As Ms. Friedland notes, “Two major benefits of one educational publication are (1) consistent definitions of terms and (2) examples that are used with multiple estimation techniques.”
