Library:	insurance
See also:	INSCramer INSDeVylder

Quantlet:		INSRenyi
Description:		produces the Renyi approximation of ruin probability in infinite time for insurance collective risk model.

Reference(s):

P. Cizek, W. Haerdle, R. Weron (2004): "Statistical Tools for Finance and Insurance"

Usage:	`y = INSRenyi(u, theta, distrib, dparameters)`
Input:
	`u`	scalar, n x 1 vector or m x n matrix, initial capital for risk process
	`theta`	scalar, security loading in insurance collective risk model
	`distrib`	string, name of distribution of claims, either: exponential, gamma, mixofexps, Weibull, lognormal, loggamma, Pareto, Burr or truncPareto.
	`dparameters`	list of scalars, parameters of the following distributions: exponential, gamma, Weibull, lognormal, loggamma, Pareto, Burr or truncPareto list of n x 1 vectors of parameters of "mixofexps" distribution, the first vector are parameters for the exponential distributions and the second one are the weights of mixing.
Output:
	`y`	scalar, n x 1 vector or m x n matrix (same dimension as u), ruin probability given by Renyi approximation.

Note:

In this example the loss distribution is gamma, safety loading 0.3 and initial capital a vector of values from 0 to 10. The Renyi approximation exists if the first 2 raw moments of loss distribution exist.

Example:

library("insurance") distrib = "gamma" dparameters = list(0.2,0.7) u = #(0:10) theta = 0.3 y = INSRenyi(u, theta, distrib, dparameters) y
