Description: Actuaries use data, math, intuition, and domain expertise to make decisions under uncertainty. Bayesian models formalize the techniques many of us use every day. While many Bayesian models are impossible to solve analytically, new tools allow us to create rich Bayesian models and use computers to evaluate them quickly. In this session we will build several Bayesian models using Python and pymc3, a probabilistic programming language, to demonstrate Bayesian techniques that can be applied to actuarial work.

Description: Over the years, much of the Society of Actuaries exam-related discussion has centered on structure, such as the number of tracks, many small exams versus a small number of large exams, ways to incorporate professionalism and nontechnical skills.

This article uses questions from old and new exams to show how the written-answer fellowship exams have changed to expect candidates to demonstrate higher level skills than in the past.
