fillNAgaps

Sometimes one has a vector with some gaps (<code>NA</code>) values, which cause
problems for several numeric functions. This function <code>fillNAgaps</code> fills
these missing values by inserting the last preceeding non-NA-value. Leading
NA values (at the start of the vector will not be modified). If the
argument <code>firstBack = TRUE</code>, leading <code>NA</code>-values are replaced by
the first non-NA value.
Trailing NAs are always replaced by the last previous NA-value.

R6 classes to model traditional life insurance
contracts like annuities, whole life insurances or endowments. Such life
insurance contracts provide a guaranteed interest and are not directly linked
to the performance of a particular investment vehicle, but they typically
provide (discretionary) profit participation. This package provides a framework
to model such contracts in a very generic (cash-flow-based) way and includes
modelling profit participation schemes, dynamic increases or more general
contract layers, as well as contract changes (like sum increases or premium
waivers). All relevant quantities like premium decomposition, reserves and
benefits over the whole contract period are calculated and potentially
exported to 'Excel'. Mortality rates are given using the 'MortalityTables' package.
