A seminar on ‘The Practical Applications of Risk Theory’ was held at Staple Inn on 29–30 September 1992, organised jointly by the Institute and the Department of Actuarial Mathematics and Statistics at Heriot-Watt University. The aim of the seminar was to combine introductory talks on several aspects of risk theory with detailed presentations of case studies by practitioners.
The first three sessions dealt with risk models.
Ms Mary Hardy gave a short survey of the classical collective risk model, compound Poisson distributions, and some simple approximations to such distributions.
