ChainLadder-package: Methods and Models for Claims Reserving

In ChainLadder: Statistical Methods and Models for Claims Reserving in General Insurance

Methods and Models for Claims Reserving

Description

ChainLadder provides methods and models which are typically used in insurance claims reserving.

The package grew out of presentations given at the Stochastic Reserving Seminar at the Institute of Actuaries in 2007 and 2008 and followed by talks at CAS meetings in 2008 and 2010.
