The generalized median (GM) estimator is a family of robust estimators that balances the competing demands of statistical efficiency and robustness. By choosing a kernel that is efficient for the parameter, the GM estimator gains robustness by computing the median of the kernel evaluated at all possible subsets from the sample. The GM estimator is often computationally infeasible because the number...
We develop a new R package that computes the probability density function, the hazard rate function, the integrated hazard rate function, and the quantile function for forty four survival models commonly used in actuarial science. A real data application of the package is illustrated. It is hoped that this package could be useful for actuarial scientists.
