Abstract

Counting processes and their compensators are introduced at a heuristic level. The martingale property of stochastic integrals with respect to a compensated counting process leads to moment estimates and asymptotic normal distributions for statistics arising in multiple state, non-parametric and semi-parametric models. The place of survival models in actuarial education is discussed.
