tweedie 0.0.9

Tweedie distribution estimations of pdf and cdf

tweedie is a Python library implementing scipy’s rv_continuous class for the Tweedie family. The Tweedie family is a member of the exponential dispersion model family and is commonly used in the insurance indsutry to model claim amounts for insurance policies (exposure).

The main focus of this package is the compound-Poisson behavior, specifically where 1 < p < 2. However, it should be possible to calculate the distribution for all the possible values of p.

Documentation:

Some of the functions are well documented. Others, not so well. In future versions, I might try to publish.
