Description: Functions and data sets for actuarial science: modeling of
        loss distributions; risk theory and ruin theory; simulation of
        compound models, discrete mixtures and compound hierarchical
        models; credibility theory. Support for many additional
        probability distributions to model insurance loss size and
        frequency: 23 continuous heavy tailed distributions; the
        Poisson-inverse Gaussian discrete distribution; zero-truncated
        and zero-modified extensions of the standard discrete
        distributions. Support for phase-type distributions commonly
        used to compute ruin probabilities. Main reference:
        <doi:10.18637/jss.v025.i07>. Implementation of the
        Feller-Pareto family of distributions:
