It is important for chapters in the *Open Actuarial Textbooks* project to have a consistent look and feel. The *Style Guide for Loss Data Analytics* aims to assist contributors in developing chapters consistently throughout the *Loss Data Analytics* book. 

This guide is set up as sample chapters containing 

- information regarding suitable content for a chapter, 
- methods to implement chapter elements and 
- conventions for consistent notation.
