This is the first of a two course sequence in statistical modeling that covers widely applicable (both actuarial and non-actuarial) methods in probability and statistics. These courses are designed to lay the mathematical foundations for students preparing for advanced professional actuarial exams. They also serve to provide and introduction to mathematical modeling techniques useful for a wider audience of quantitatively oriented students in business and finance, and science and engineering. Course ASCI4200 (AS410) consists of a comprehensive survey of probability distributions used in mathematical models, and the modeling of discrete and continuous time stochastic process, including Markov, compound Poisson and Brownian motion processes. 3 credits

Prerequisites: STAT3140 and STAT3150
