linkRatiosPlot

Plot link ratios for development triangle

Since R2021a

Syntax

linkRatiosPlot(dT)

h = linkRatiosPlot(ax,___)

Description

linkRatiosPlot(dT) plots the link ratios for the development triangle.

h = linkRatiosPlot(ax,___) additionally specifies the axes and returns the figure handle h. Use this syntax with the required input argument in the previous syntax.

Examples

Generate Plot for Link Ratios

Generate a plot for the link ratios for a developmentTriangle object containing simulated insurance claims data.

Use developmentTriangle to convert the data to a development triangle, which is the standard form for representing claims data.

dT = developmentTriangle(data)

dT = 
  developmentTriangle with properties:

                          Origin: {10×1 cell}
                     Development: {10×1 cell}
                          Claims: [10×10 double]
                  LatestDiagonal: [10×1 double]

Use the linkRatiosPlot function to plot a series of lines of the link ratios for the development triangle.

linkRatiosPlot(dT)

Input Arguments

dT — Development triangle

developmentTriangle object

Development triangle, specified as a previously created developmentTriangle object.

Data Types: object

ax — Valid axis object

object

(Optional) Valid axis object, specified as an ax object created using axes. The function creates the plot on the axes specified by the optional ax argument instead of on the current axes (gca). The optional argument ax must precede any of the input argument combinations.

Data Types: object

Output Arguments

h — Figure handle

handle object

Figure handle for the line objects, returned as a handle object.
