Handling Hierarchically Structured Risk Factors using Random Effects Models

Description

Using this package, you can fit a random effects model using either the hierarchical credibility model, a combination of the hierarchical credibility model with a generalized linear model or a Tweedie generalized linear mixed model. See Campo, B.D.C. and Antonio, K. (2023) <doi:10.1080/03461238.2022.2161413>.
