Am I getting less than the minimum amount of sleep per night than what is recommended? This is a left-tailed question.
I will be analyzing the number of hours of sleep per night that I experienced over a sample of 42 days collected using the SleepScore app on my iphone, which uses sonar sensor technology, called echolocation, to track your breathing and body movement as you travel through each sleep stage. This is important to me because after an injury/procedure I have had much trouble being able to sleep more than 4 hours without waking up due to phantom pains and am curious about how my current sleep patterns line up with recommendations.

-How to calculate aggregate claims and expected costs.
-How to find Value at Risk (VaR) for reserves.
** Tasks Completed **
-Create a presentation about reserves and data analysis.
-Review assumptions, fit distributions, and calculate losses.
-Determine VaR and consider modeling enhancements.
