Pareto

Pareto is an R package providing methods and tools for the Pareto, the piecewise Pareto and the generalized Pareto distribution which are useful for pricing of reinsurance treaties:

Moreover, the package provides some functions for collective models with a claim count distribution from the Panjer class (i.e. Binomial, Poisson and Negative Binomial) and a piecewise Pareto distributed severity:

All methods are also available for truncated versions of the (piecewise) Pareto distribution.

Thanks

To Stefan Foerster for his NPAddins which I used a lot in my daily work and which inspired me to create this package.
