R help - Feb 2010 - Question re model development

Dear Sir/Madam

I'm trying quite a long shot here...

I have used R previously, and would just like to know if any software/model
has been designed which will allow me to project the future risk profile of
a group of insured lives (by factors such as age, gender etc.), based on
past and exisiting risk profiles of the covered lives? If you could point me
in the direction of a similar project or code it would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

R has been used in actuarial research. There is an actuar package,  
although I do not use it for my work on insurance related topics. I  
have been using survival models and R has a rich set of tools for that  
purpose. Perhaps you could be more specific.
