==== Description: ====
FAViR stands for Formatted Actuarial Vignettes in R.  The goal of FAViR is to
lower the learning curve of the R environment, helping actuaries quickly
produce and format the solutions to practical actuarial problems.

FAViR takes the form of a series of Sweave papers and an associated package. 
All code is open source (GPL or BSD compatible).  Readers can apply the
techniques in each paper to their own data simply by changing the inputs and
rerunning the paper.  To assure consistency and quality, FAViR papers follow a
consistent style and are peer reviewed.



==== Other Software Required: ====
R GPL http://www.r-project.org/
latex LPPL http://www.latex-project.org/
Tikz/PGF GPL http://sourceforge.net/projects/pgf/



==== Other Comments: ====
Some other random latex packages/styles may be used (e.g. booktabs
http://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/booktabs/), but they are all
free.

See the webpage http://favir.emerose.org

The pdf in the tarball is an example paper (compiled from Reserving.Rnw) and
should also help you get a sense of what the project is about.
