Overview

About

Maintained by Reinhold KainhoferFirst published 2023-11-062 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

R6 classes to model traditional life insurance contracts like annuities, whole life insurances or endowments. Such life insurance contracts provide a guaranteed interest and are not directly linked to the performance of a particular investment vehicle, but they typically provide (discretionary) profit participation. This package provides a framework to model such contracts in a very generic (cash-flow-based) way and includes modelling profit participation schemes, dynamic increases or more general contract layers, as well as contract changes (like sum increases or premium waivers). All relevant quantities like premium decomposition, reserves and benefits over the whole contract period are calculated and potentially exported to 'Excel'. Mortality rates are given using the 'MortalityTables' package.

  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("kainhofer/LifeInsureR")

Development version from kainhofer/LifeInsureR. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-lifeinsurer

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-LifeInsureR

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-LifeInsureR

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
