Greetings, Version 0.1.4-0 of the ChainLadder package is available via CRAN and http://code.google.com/p/chainladder/ The ChainLadder package, which is focused on claims reserving methods typically carried out by property/casualty insurance actuaries, has recently been enhanced to implement the methods in David Clark's 2003 CAS (Casualty Actuarial Society) *Forum* paper "LDF

I'm a property-casualty actuary, use R in at my job, and lurk on the list. In conjunction with one of its meetings, the Casualty Actuarial Society (I'm a member) is looking for proposals from people to teach a workshop in R and I thought members of the list might be interested. I've pasted the information below. My apologies if this posting violates list rules. Thanks. Kevin

Hi Everyone, I have some data that predicts both a nominal and ordinal response variable. I was wondering what packages in R would help me analyze the data? I was also curious if anyone could recomend me some textbooks that would help with the analysis of such data? I have the 5th edition of "Applied Multivariate Statistical Analysis" by Richard A. Johnson and Dean W. Wichern

Hi everyone! I've recently begun to learn R for my job as the IT department suffers from lack of funding for new software. I was talking to the guy in charge of Requisitions and have found out the budget for books is in great shape. So, I'm curious what books people know of that have R examples and are good for: 1.) Uni and Multivariate Time Series Analysis/Forecasting 2.) GLMs (at

(Sorry for the slightly off topic post) I'm giving a talk (on data mining) to some non-statisticians (who're all postgrad students, but a mixture of Science and Commerce majors). My intention is to show them the importance of statistics when doing data mining. What I'm thinking of doing is using, hopefully, two datasets. One from scientific area and another that is

Dear all, I will present R language and R software environment to the Statistical Society of Serbia. As I will doing it to professional statisticians it seems unneccesary to me to present them how R language works in details. I am more interested to present them with the latest facts regarding R (approximately number of users, number of add-on packages etc.) and in general why they should start

Dear all, I'm trying to produce a log-likelihood profile for a GPD estimate with the ismev package. When following the examples, everything is working fine, i.e. I get a nice parabolic log-likelihood curve. When using my own data (intensity of hurricanes at landfall), the log-likelihood curve looks like a step function. Am I doing something wrong here? Is my data not suited for the GPD fit?

This isn't the typical r-help post, but I think people here will appreciate it.

Hi all. A friend of mine asked me to assist with an R presentation to the Penn State LUG in a few weeks. The audience will be predominately computer scientists and/or engineers (I suspect) and they are just looking for presentations of good open source software and my friend volunteered R. We are both relatively new to R, so I thought it would be best to ask the list for your opinion....what do

Hi Everyone, I did a quick search of the list and it looks like this may not have been asked before... I'm trying to generate a matrix of random numbers between 0 and 1, with 6 columns, 10000 rows. About all I know is that runif(1) gives me the random number I'm looking for. Any help would be great! thanks, -Max
