Distributions that are typically used for exposure rating in
general insurance, in particular to price reinsurance contracts.
The vignette shows code snippets to fit the distribution to
empirical data. See e.g. Bernegger (1997) <doi:10.2143/AST.27.1.563208>.

Perform clusterwise multiblock analyses (clusterwise multiblock Partial Least Squares, clusterwise multiblock Redundancy Analysis or a regularized method between the two latter ones) associated with a F-fold cross-validation procedure to select the optimal number of clusters and dimensions.
