A function to make the work with the functional development profiles within
run-off triangles more easy and straightforward---particularly when vizualizing
the functional profiles (observed, completed, or both simultaneously) in a single plot
Usage
as.profileLadder(x)
Value
an object of the class profileLadder which is a list with the
following elements:
reserve
basic summary of the run-off triangle and the predicted/true
reserve (if it is available otherwise NA values are provided instead)
method
type of the printed triangle (either a run-off triangle itself
if no prediction method is applied or the completed triangle where the missing
fragments are imputed by one of the algorithm, PARALLAX, REACT, or MACRAME)
Triangle
input (triangular shaped) run-off triangle
FullTriangle
completed development profiles imputed by using one of the
estimation algorithm (i.e., PARALLAX, REACT, or MACRAME)---if applied---value
NA provided otherwise
trueComplete
true fully developmed profiles of the run-off triangle
(if available for back-testing purposes) or NA returned otherwise
