EAA Web Session ‚Open-Source Tools R: Extending the Toolbox of the Actuary‘

The goal of this two-day training is to introduce the participants to the R open-source ecosystemand to give them a good understanding of this languages. However, since both ecosystems are way too vast to be covered in merely two days, the participants will be asked to go through the basics of both languages themselves, prior to the web session. During the first web session of each language, these basics which will be shortly revised, but at a higher pace. The course material, containing the basics of both languages, will be provided by the organizers several weeks before the beginning of the web session, such that the participants will have plenty of time to go through the material at her/his ease.

As such, less time needs to be spent on the basic elements of both languages, thereby enabling us to organize the following hands-on exercise session to more easily assimilate the course material. Note that the participants need to bring along a laptop on which R is installed. Instructions on how to do so will be provided by the organizers at the same time as the course material of R basics, hence several weeks in advance.

As a result, a jump-start on how to truly use these languages in practice will be provided to the participants, by focusing on solutions for problems that they will surely regularly encounter in their day-to-day job, by handing over lots of links to online resources and very rich course material and by even organizing hands-on exercise sessions.
