hierCredTweedie-class function

Class "hierCredTweedie" of fitted random effects models estimated with Ohlsson's GLMC algorithm

## S3 method for class 'hierCredTweedie'
print(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'hierCredTweedie'
summary(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'hierCredTweedie'
fitted(object, ...)

Arguments

• x: an object of class hierCredTweedie
• ...: currently ignored.
• object: an object of class hierCredTweedie

Returns

The function hierCredGLM returns an object of class hierCredGLM, which has the following slots:

• call: the matched call

• HierarchicalResults: results of the hierarchical credibility model.

• fitGLM: the results from fitting the GLM part.

• iter: total number of iterations.

• Converged: logical indicating whether the algorithm converged.

• LevelsCov: object that summarizes the unique levels of each of the contract-specific covariates.

• fitted.values: the fitted mean values, resulting from the model fit.

• prior.weights: the weights (exposure) initially supplied.

• y: if requested, the response vector. Default is TRUE.

S3 methods

• print:: Prints the call, the estimated variance parameters, the unique number of categories of the hierarchical MLF and the output of the GLM part. The ... argument is currently ignored. Returns an invisible copy of the original object.
• summary:: In addition to the output of the print.hierCredTweedie function, the summary function also prints the random effect estimates and a summary of the GLM (see summary.glm). Returns an invisible copy of the original object.
• fitted:: Returns the fitted values.
