Makes sense. I’ve been using apps to study other things and it has worked really well for me. Especially in a moving and bus where I might be standing...I want to minimize movement. I was thinking of something as convenient as a flash card type app where I really just need a thumb to navigate
Hello,
I’m starting my GRE study soon and would like to know what you guys recommend for GRE study, specifically iPhone apps.
I don’t plan on taking exams on the phone, but I would like something that I can use to cram into long term memory while I am on the bus every day. Anything that you...
I’m looking into enrolling in a part-time online data science-related masters program, and am looking for suggestions/feedback on which ones to consider.Some might consider those a waste of time and money and I can just self study, but given that, I would like to still pursue this to get a...
I've read a few resources on ARIMA, and I still have a few outstanding questions. Here is what I know, and let me know if I am incorrect:
Given any set of data, before I can do any forecast, I can use ARIMA to assess the model and make it stationary first.
Before I start, I should plot out the...
Suppose I'm trying to answer the following question: How much more insurance premium will I get, by raising rates by 10%. for this exercise, I"m assuming price is the only factor, just to simplify things.
Lets say I give 20,000 quotes per month. Obviously, not all will purchase my policy...
thanks for the feedback. When you say that a simple linear model can not explain the data, do you mean that it could be non linear? Is it possible to determine that by visual inspection of the scatter plot? From what I can see, it does curve up and then down like a sine function, so maybe...
I'm dabbling with regression (In excel), but I'm stuck because my residual plot is not normal. I have 2 variables: age, and gender(0 or 1). I regress it in excel and also plot the residuals, it is not random. In general, how do I solve this issue?
If it matters, the result of my raw...
My company has SAS enterprise guide 7.1 installed and I figured I want to take advantage to learn SAS programming.
Just browsing online, it appears that SAS Enterprise guide is a 'drag and drop' type software, but you can still have access to writing your own code...is that correct?
If so...
I am currently in the insurance field as a 'product analyst.' My main duties include using SQL to run reports, update reports, create ad hoc reports, and connecting said reports to excel for 'data analysis'(pivot tables etc). My tenure in SQL is around 6 months but I've been in insurance in a...
My job requires me to update excel reports and also send out analysis and summaries. My concern is, I don't really have a lot of experience with statistics, numbers analysis, or have enough background to know what type of tools are available for me.
For example, let's say I send out a weekly...
Thanks guys. I'll try again and this time focus on your suggestions. I think my issue is 2 things: applying the concepts to problems, and knowing when to move forward. Using exam P for example, I would watch or read an entire lesson and feel like I'm following along, and then when it comes...
Thanks. Right now, I'm scheduled for April 10. I'm using 'the infinite actuary' courses to study and I'm feeling I'm getting stuck on the section about annuities(which is like chapter 2 of the entire course). I push myself and just keep moving forward by following a strict schedule(1 to 2...
i really need help with studying the actuarial exams. My issue is I am not studying 'smart. and with the difficulty of the exams, studying hard won't get me through.
I passed exam P, but I studied way too hard for it; ie 1 year for 5 to 7 hours per day, 5 days per week. It ended up with me...
