Overview

About

Maintained by Matt HeaphyCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

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".

Changes in 1.6.1

Fixed small compatibility issue with gt 1.1.0.
Fixed issue with exp_shiny() and newer versions of the bslib package. Version 0.9.0 of bslib is now required to use exp_shiny().

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

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

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("mattheaphy/actxps")

Development version from mattheaphy/actxps. 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-actxps

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

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-actxps

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-actxps

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
