as.profileLadder: S3 Method Class 'profileLadder'

In ProfileLadder: Functional Profile Chain Ladder for Claims Reserving

S3 Method Class profileLadder

Description

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—in a plot)

Usage

as.profileLadder(x)

Arguments

x	an object of the class matrix or triangle

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 true/estimated 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 estimation method is applied or the completed triangle where the missing fragments are imputed by one of the algorithm, PARALLAX, REACT, or MACRAME)
completed	completed development profiles estimated by using one of the estimation algorithm (i.e., PARALLAX, REACT, or MACRAME)—if applied—value NA provided otherwise
inputTriangle	standard (triangular shaped) run-off triangle
trueComplete	true completed development profiles of the run-off triangle (if available) or NA returned otherwise
