Package: healthsim Title: Simulate Synthetic Health Insurance Portfolios and Panels Version: 0.1.0 Authors@R: person("Sbusiso", "Mdingi", email = "sbusiso@mdingi.co.za", role = c("aut", "cre", "cph"), comment = c(ORCID = "0009-0003-4417-968X")) Description: Generates synthetic South African health insurance data with a known data-generating process, for teaching and testing pricing models. One function simulates a cross-sectional portfolio of principal members with negative binomial claim counts and a lognormal-Pareto severity mixture. Another simulates a multi-year open-cohort panel with ageing, smoking cessation, wearable activity and sleep data joined by a Clayton copula, claims inflation, annual benefit limits, lapses and deaths. Every parameter can be changed, and the true expected frequency and severity are available for checking fitted models.
