Generalized Linear Models for Insurance Rating, the second edition of the fifth volume of the CAS Monograph Series, is now available for download. In this monograph, authors Mark Goldburd, Anand Khare, Dan Tevet, and Dmitriy Guller have written a comprehensive guide to creating an insurance rating plan using generalized linear models (GLMs), with an emphasis on practical application. While many textbooks and papers exist to explain GLMs, this monograph serves as a "one-stop shop" for the actuary seeking to understand the GLM model-building process from start to finish. The monograph has been adopted on the syllabus for Exam 8.
