The function provides an overall summary of the output from the function incrExplor()

Usage

# S3 method for class 'mcSetup'
summary(object, ...)

Arguments

object

an object of the class mcSetup – the output from the incrExplor() function

...

not used

Value

Returns a standard summary table (with basic description characteristics) for raw run-off triangle increments and their standardized (by using the maximum increment) counterparts. The function also returns the corresponding bins for the increments and their representations in terms of the Markov chain states.
