5 out of 5 stars A detailed solutions manual to accompany an excellent text   March 24, 2008
Genevieve Hayes (Australia)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

"Loss Models from Data to Decisions" is an excellent text book with a large number of exam level exercises (many based on past SOA and CAS exam questions). The only bad thing about this text is that solutions are not provided to these exercises. This situation is remedied by this book, which provides detailed solutions to these exercises. Although this book is cheaply presented, as far as I am aware, this book is complete and I haven't found any mistakes in the solutions yet. This is an essential companion to the original text and I highly recommend it to any students studying from this text.

Please note that this book is just a solutions manual and the exercises are not repeated in this book. To obtain the exercises it is necessary to buy "Loss Models from Data to Decisions".
