Overview

About

Maintained by Matt HeaphyFirst published 2022-08-3111 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Experience studies are used by actuaries to explore historical experience across blocks of business and to inform assumption setting activities. This package provides functions for preparing data, creating studies, visualizing results, and beginning assumption development. Experience study methods, including exposure calculations, are described in: Atkinson & McGarry (2016) "Experience Study Calculations" https://www.soa.org/49378a/globalassets/assets/files/research/experience-study-calculations.pdf. The limited fluctuation credibility method used by the 'exp_stats()' function is described in: Herzog (1999, ISBN:1-56698-374-6) "Introduction to Credibility Theory".
