Why Actuarial Open Source?
- Open source makes actuarial science accessible by turning actuarial jargon and symbols into code which can be understood by a wider audience.
- Open source allows for reproducible research in actuarial science. Open data and non-proprietary computing platforms allow anyone to replicate results, creating transparency and trust in results.
- Open source creates a collaborative space for professionals, academics, and enthusiasts to come together.
