    Actuarial Fairy Tales: Statistically Significant Stories

    About this audiobook

    The only, I mean funniest, actuarial fairy tale book in the world!

    Actuarial Fairy Tales is the result of fitting a statistical humour distribution to a dataset of well-known fairy tales after making some assumptions and unfounded extrapolations.

    Featuring a diversified portfolio of statistically scintillating stories, including:

    • R-punzel
    • The Princess and the p-value
    • Beauty and the Beastly Actuary
    • RumpelSTATSkin
    • Goldilocks and the 3 Bear Market Analysts

    Hypothesis tests show, at the 1% level, that this book is significantly funnier than being eaten by a wolf,

    locked in a tower or poisoned by an apple.

    The perfect bedtime reading for actuaries, data analysts, and financial analysts everywhere.*

    * Guaranteed to send them to sleep.

      Our Brains Tell Stories So We Can Live

      Aug 8, 2019

      We are all storytellers; we make sense out of the world by telling stories. And science is a great source of stories. Not so, you might argue. Science is an objective collection and interpretation of data. I completely agree. At the level of the stud
