ChainLadder

ChainLadder is an R package providing methods and models which are typically used in insurance claims reserving, including:

  • Mack chain-ladder, Munich chain-ladder and Bootstrap models
  • General multivariate chain ladder-models
  • Loss development factor fitting and Cape Cod models
  • Generalized linear models
  • One year claims development result functions
  • Utility functions to:
    • convert tables into triangles and triangles into tables
    • convert cumulative into incremental and incremental into cumulative triangles
    • visualise triangles

Installation

You can install the stable version from CRAN:

install.packages('ChainLadder', dependencies = TRUE)

To install the current development version from github you can use the devtools package:

To install ChainLadder run:

library(devtools)
install_github("mages/ChainLadder", dependencies = TRUE)

Usage

library(ChainLadder)
?ChainLadder
demo(ChainLadder)

See the ChainLadder package vignette for more details.
