Before revision:  It thus reflects a number of desirable (but complicated) data features , but the general structure is suitable for most lines of business, with some amendment of modules. The structure of the simulator enables the inclusion of a number of important dependencies between the variables related to an individual claim , e. g. dependence of notification delay on claim size, of the size of a partial payment on the sizes of those preceding, etc .
After revision:  It thus reflects a number of desirable (but complicated) data features requires further development. Accordingly, in this paper we review those desirable features, and propose a new simulator of individual claim experience called SynthETIC. Our simulator is publicly available, open source, and fills a gap in the non-life actuarial toolkit. The simulator specifically allows for desirable (but optionally complicated) data features typically occurring in practice, such as variations in rates of settlements and development patterns; as with superimposed inflation, and various discontinuities, and also enables various dependencies between variables .
