Creation of an individual claims simulator which generates various
features of non-life insurance claims. An initial set of test parameters,
designed to mirror the experience of an Auto Liability portfolio, were set
up and applied by default to generate a realistic test data set of
individual claims (see vignette). The simulated data set then allows
practitioners to back-test the validity of various reserving models and to
prove and/or disprove certain actuarial assumptions made in claims
modelling. The distributional assumptions used to generate this data set can
be easily modified by users to match their experiences. Reference: Avanzi B,
