The syllabus on the CAS web site
http://www.casact.org/admissions/syllabus/exam6.pdf
says that we're only responsible for Mack - pages 333-337
(which is just the method itself - ignores the calculation of the optimal credibility factor c* - which is not very testable anyway, and talk about min. Mean Square Error)
Is this correct?
As it could make sense as those are the only really testable pages anyway, and perhaps the rest is not part of the learning objectives.
OR, coincidentally the last page of the paper is page 347, so it's possible that it's a typo in the syllabus and they meant 347 -
though regardless doesn't this disqualify pages 338-347 as we're not supposed to assume anything.
