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

For a Python claims reserving package visit chainladder-python.

Installation

You can install the stable version from CRAN:
