lx_to_dx

Minus the decumulation of the survival curve gives the death distribution. Or the element-wise product of <code>lx</code> and the conditional death probabilities <code>qx</code> gives the same thing.

A set of all-cause and cause-specific life expectancy sensitivity and decomposition methods, including Arriaga (1984) <doi:10.2307/2061029>, others documented by Ponnapalli (2005) <doi:10.4054/DemRes.2005.12.7>, lifetable, numerical, and other algorithmic approaches such as Horiuchi et al (2008) <doi:10.1353/dem.0.0033>, or Andreev et al (2002) <doi:10.4054/DemRes.2002.7.14>.
