R package for Computational Actuarial Science

A webpage for the book is now hosted on

http://cas.uqam.ca/

So far, it is a very basic page, but information regarding the package can be found there. For instance, to install the package, with all the datasets, the R code is

> install.packages("CASdatasets", repos = "http://cas.uqam.ca/pub/R/")

The reference manual provides a description of all datasets.

  1. Hi, I’m trying to import DataMortality.csv from chap 10 – survival analysis, but I don’t have it. I installed CASdatasets and ran the library, but when I search into the list, there isn’t such thing as ‘DataMortality’. Did you change the names? If so, can you tell me what’s the new dataset name? Thx

  2. Hi Arthur! In Chapter 14, section 14.1.3 there is reference to dataset CONTRACTS and CLAIMS. Is this somewhere available?

    (contract and client information from French unknown private insurer, as well as claim ID and indemnity from same company).

    Thank you.

  3. I am studying chapter 10 (survival analysis), but I cannot figure out where to load DataMortality.csv . Thank you for your help.

      1. Hi Arthur, I’m trying to replicate the application (10.4.3.1) from Whittaker{Henderson Smoother Techniques, but I cannot find the Q_Moment_h.txt to load. Thank in advance for your help.

  4. Hi Arthur,
    great book!
    Can I access to the data sets in survival chapter? Is the dataset ‘data\\DataMortality.csv’ (10.2.1 part of the book). I can’t find it also in the ‘survival’ package.
    Thanks!
    Best

  5. Hello Arthur.

    I’m very sorry, but I’m having some troubles with installing this package (whether I do it using “install.packages” code or uploading as a .tar.gz file). Here’s a screenshot of the problem:

    Having purchased a copy of your text, I am having difficulty accessing the site http://cas.uqam.ca/ – and installing the package under R version 3.1.2.
