linkRatios
Description
calculates the link ratios between the current development period and the next
for each origin period. You can plot the link ratios using LinkRatiosTable
= linkRatios(developmentTriangle
)linkRatiosPlot
.
Examples
Calculate Link Ratios for Development Triangle
Calculate the link ratios (age-to-age factors) for a developmentTriangle
object containing simulated insurance claims data.

Use developmentTriangle
to convert the data to a development triangle, which is the standard form for representing claims data.
dT = developmentTriangle(data)
dT = developmentTriangle with properties: Origin: {10x1 cell} Development: {10x1 cell} Claims: [10x10 double] LatestDiagonal: [10x1 double] Description: "" TailFactor: 1 CumulativeDevelopmentFactors: [1.3069 1.1107 1.0516 1.0261 1.0152 1.0098 1.0060 1.0030 1.0010 1] SelectedLinkRatio: [1.1767 1.0563 1.0249 1.0107 1.0054 1.0038 1.0030 1.0020 1.0010]
Use the linkRatios
function to calculate link ratios between the current development period and the next period.

More About
Link Ratios
Link ratios, also called age-to-age factors or loss development factors (LDFs), represent the ratio of loss amounts from one valuation date to another, and they are intended to capture growth patterns of losses over time.
