The early bird registration offer for the 2nd R in Insurance conference, 14
July 2014, at Cass Business School ends tomorrow.

This one-day conference will focus once more on applications in insurance
and actuarial science that use R, the lingua franca for statistical
computation. Topics covered include reserving, pricing, loss modelling, the
use of R in a production environment, and more. All topics are to be
discussed within the context of using R as a primary tool for insurance
risk management, analysis and modelling.

The conference programme consists of invited talks and contributed
presentations discussing the wide range of fields in which R is used in
insurance:
