# rippy
ReInsurance Pricing in PYthon!

## Getting Started

Install rippy from pypi:

```pip install rippy```

## Introduction

Rippy is a simple, fast and lightweight simulation-based reinsurance modeling package. It has two main components:

1. Frequency-Severity, otherwise known as compound distribution simulation

    Rippy contains the ```FrequencySeverityModel``` class to set up and simulate from compound distributions with a variety of frequency and severity distributions

    ```python
    from rippy import FrequencySeverityModel, Distributions
    claims = FrequencySeverityModel(Distributions.Poisson(5),Distributions.Pareto(0.5,100000)).generate()
    ```

2. Reinsurance contract calculation
   
   Rippy can then calculate the recoveries of a number of types of reinsurance contract for the simulated claims.

   ```python
   from rippy import XoL
   xol_layer = XoL(name="Layer 1", limit=1000000, excess=100000, premium=1000)
   xol_layer.apply(claims)
   xol_layer.print_summary()
    ```


Rippy is based on the scientific python stack of numpy and scipy for fast performance. It can optionally run on a GPU for extremely fast performance. It is designed for interoperability with numpy and ndarrays, so for example the simulated claims can be operated on with
numpy ufuncs:

```python
import numpy as np
capped_claims = np.minimum(claims,2000000)
```

Under the hood/bonnet, rippy represents the simulations of the Frequency-Severity model in sparse storage, keeping two lists of simulation indices and values: 

|sim_index | values|
|-----|-----|
| 0 | 13231.12
| 0 | 432.7 |
| 2 | 78935.12 |
| 3 | 3213.9 |
| 3 | 43843.1 |
| ...| ...|

Frequency-Severity simulations can be aggregated (summed within a sim_index), which results in a standard ```np.ndarray```

```python
aggregate_claims = claims.aggregate()

```

```python
np.array([13663.82,0,78935,12,47957.0,....])
```

### Configuring the simulation settings

The global number of simulations can be changed from the ```config``` class (the default is 100,000 simulations)

```python
from rippy import config
config.n_sims = 1000000
```

The global random seed can also be configured from the ```config``` class

```python
config.set_random_seed(123456)
```

Rippy uses the ```default_rng``` class of the ```numpy.random``` module. This can also be configured using the ```config.rng``` property.

### Using a GPU

GPU support requires a CUDA compatible GPU. Internally rippy uses the cupy library. Install the dependencies by running

```
pip install rippy[gpu]
```

To enable GPU mode, set the RIPPY_USE_GPU environment variable to 1.
```linux
export RIPPY_USE_GPU=1
```
on Linux or
```
set RIPPY_USE_GPU=1
```
on Windows. Set it to anythin else to revert to using a CPU


## Project Status

Rippy is currently a proof of concept. There are a limited number of supported distributions and reinsurance contracts. We are working on:

* Adding more distributions and loss generation types
* Adding support for Catastrophe loss generation and reinsurance contracts
* Adding support for more reinsurance contract types (Surplus, Stop Loss etc)
* Grouping reinsurance contracts into programs and structures
* Stratified sampling and Quasi-Monte Carlo methods
* Reporting dashboards
