LRfunction: Calculate the Link Ratio Function

Description

This calculates the link ratio function per the CLFM paper.

Usage

LRfunction(x, y, delta)

Value

A vector of link ratios.

Arguments

x

beginning value of loss during a development period

y

ending value of loss during a development period

delta

numeric

Author

Dan Murphy

Details

Calculated the link ratios resulting from a chainladder model over a development period indexed by (possibly vector valued) real number delta. See formula (5) in the References.
