AKq02a0

<p>a value or vector of values of q0, the death probability for age 0 infants.</p>

<p><code>AKq02a0</code> is an auxiliary function used by version 6 of the four HMD lifetable functions, <code>ltper_AxN()</code>, <code>ltcoh_AxN()</code>, <code>ltperBoth_AxN()</code>, <code>ltcohBoth_AxN()</code>.</p>

Fit diverse models of mortality graduation, parametric or not, in
order to isolate the hump that is often observed in the age-specific death rates
during adolescence and early adulthood in human populations. Can handle either
all-cause or cause-specific data. A description of the methods used can be found in     Remund A., Camarda C. and Riffe T. (2018) Analyzing the Young Adult Mortality Hump in     R with MortHump. MPIDR Technical Report TR-2018-3.
