\varepsilon is defined as the conditional expectation of the
maximal aggregate loss given that it is above the value at ruin of level
\varepsilon.

Details
tvaru is a wrapper function for hypoexpTvaru and
saddlepointTvaru.
hypoexpTvaru calculates the tail value at ruin in the case of
hypo-exponentially distributed claim amounts by numerical integration of the
probability of ruin, which can be computed exactly.
saddlepointTvaru uses saddlepoint techniques for the approximation of
the tail value at ruin. More precisely, the saddlepoint approximation to
the probability of is numerically integrated in the frequency domain, and
implicitly also the saddlepoint approximation to the value at ruin (see
varu) is used. If type = "tail" the integrand is the
probability of ruin (as function in the frequency domain), otherwise
(type = "density") it is essentially a re-scaled version of the
probability of ruin due to claims. The former requires fewer calculations
and seems to produce slightly more accurate results.
Value
A function returning the tail value at ruin of a given probability level is returned.
If method = "saddlepoint" or if saddlepointTvaru is used, the
returned function has an additional second argument giving the number of
iterations used for the approximation of the value at ruin (i. e., the lower
integration limit), see varu.
