Dear useRs and developeRs, We are proud to announce that version 3.0-0 of actuar is now available on CRAN. This newest release further extends support of the package for heavy tail and extreme value size distributions. It also introduces a package API, so that developers may easily integrate our C code into their own package. From the NEWS file: ? Support functions ?[dpqrm,lev]fpareto? for the Feller-Pareto distribution and related Pareto distributions with a location parameter. The Feller-Pareto defines a large family of distributions encompassing the transformed beta family and many variants of the Pareto distribution. Using the nomenclature of Arnold (2015), the following distributions are now supported by ?actuar?: Feller-Pareto, Pareto IV, Pareto III, and Pareto II. The Pareto I was already supported under the name Single Parameter Pareto. ? The package now exposes through an API its 200+ C routines for probability functions and the beta integral. This is documented in a new section of the ?distributions? package vignette. See file ?include/actuarAPI.h? in the package installation directory for the complete list of exported routines. The complete NEWS is available on CRAN as usual: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/actuar/news.html Cheers, Vincent Goulet Professor ?cole d'actuariat, Universit? Laval
