chainladder 0.8.0

Chainladder Package - P&C Loss Reserving package

chainladder - Property and Casualty Loss Reserving in Python

This package gets inspiration from the popular R ChainLadder package.

This package strives to be minimalistic in needing its own API. Think in pandas for data manipulation and scikit-learn for model construction. An actuary already versed in these tools will pick up this package with ease. Save your mental energy for actuarial work.
