claim_changes
is designed to make create a dataframe for all values that have
changed from one calendar date to another. A "changed claim" is a claim in a loss_df
in which one or more of the values
has changed from one selected calendar periods to another.
A changed claim must have a unique 'id' for it's 'origin'. (i.e. if a claim differs origin year
from 'calendar1' to calendar2' it will be returned as two seperate claims)
1 | claim_changes(ldf, calendar1, calendar2, values = NULL)

ldf |
S3 object of class |
calendar1 |
the more recent calendar period to compare |
calendar2 |
the older calendar period. Data at calendar2 will be subtracted from data at calendar1. |
values |
a vector of the names of the columns to be compared for changes. If NULL all comparable
columns will be compared. If any column names are provided in |
The motivation for claim_changes
arose from the need to confirm that new claim data
added to the database is consistent with the claim data already in the database. claim_changes
produces a
data frame consisting only of claims with changes in the selected values
argument during the
period between the calendar periods of interest. By scanning over all the claims that have changes one can quickly
detect errors in the data (i.e. missing claims, an unexplainable decrease in paid losses, etc.).
Additionally it is often beneficial when reserving to have claim detail to support the changes
that occured, summarized on an origin level basis, from one reserve report to the next. A review
of the claims that caused the change in the overall reserve can provide valuable information about
how the losses may develop.
