R in Insurance 2015: Registration Opened

The registration for the third conference on R in Insurance on Monday 29 June 2015 at the University of Amsterdam has opened.


This one-day conference will focus again on applications in insurance and actuarial science that use R, the lingua franca for statistical computation.

The intended audience of the conference includes both academics and practitioners who are active or interested in the applications of R in insurance.

Invited talks will be given by:

• Prof. Richard Gill, Leiden University
• Dr James Guszcza, FCAS, Chief Data Scientist, Deloitte – US

Perhaps you have seen Richard’s TED talk on Statistical Errors in Court or Jim’s talk on Predictive Modelling and Behaviour Insight or Actuarial Analytics in R. We are thrilled that they accepted our invitation.

We invite you to submit a one-page abstract for consideration. Both academic and practitioner proposals related to R are encouraged. The submission deadline for abstracts is 28 March 2015.
Please email your abstract of no more than 300 words (in text or pdf format) to r-in-insurance@uva.nl.

Details about the registration and abstract submission are given on the dedicated R in Insurance page at the University of Amsterdam.
