title: 'actuary: Actuarial Functions and Utilities'
version: 0.1.2
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.actuary
abstract: Provides actuarial modeling tools for Monte Carlo loss simulations, loss
  reserving, and reinsurance layer loss calculations. It enables users to generate
  stochastic loss datasets with customisable frequency and severity distributions,
  fit development patterns to claim triangles, and calculate reinsurance losses for
  occurrence and aggregate layers with user-defined retentions, limits, and reinstatements.
  For development pattern selection, the package includes a machine learning approach
  that evaluates multiple reserving models using holdout validation to identify the
  best-fitting pattern based on predictive accuracy, this is based on the algorithm
  described in Richman, R and Balona, C (2020)<https://www.ssrn.com/abstract=3697256>.
