The actxps package provides a set of tools to assist with the creation of actuarial experience studies. Experience studies are used by actuaries to explore historical experience across blocks of business and to inform assumption setting for projection models.
expose() family of functions convert census-level
records into policy or calendar year exposure records.exp_stats() function creates experience summary
data frames containing observed termination rates and claims.
Optionally, expected termination rates, actual-to-expected ratios, and
limited fluctuation credibility estimates can also be returned.add_transactions() function attaches summarized
transactions to a data frame with exposure-level records.trx_stats() function creates transaction summary
data frames containing transaction counts, amounts, frequencies, and
utilization. Optionally, transaction amounts can be expressed as a
percentage of one or more variables to calculate rates or
actual-to-expected ratios.autoplot() and autotable() functions
creates plots and tables for reporting.exp_shiny() function launches a Shiny app that
allows for interactive exploration of experience drivers.The actxps package can be installed from CRAN with:
install.packages("actxps")To install the development version from GitHub use:
devtools::install_github("mattheaphy/actxps")An expanded version of this demo is available in
vignette("actxps").
The actxps package includes simulated census data for a theoretical deferred annuity product with an optional guaranteed income rider. The grain of this data is one row per policy.
