mx_qx

Function to convert mx into qx and back, using the constant force of
mortality assumption (CFM).

internal

Fit the most popular human mortality 'laws', and construct
full and abridge life tables given various input indices. A mortality
law is a parametric function that describes the dying-out process of
individuals in a population during a significant portion of their
life spans. For a comprehensive review of the most important mortality
laws see Tabeau (2001) <doi:10.1007/0-306-47562-6_1>.
Practical functions for downloading data from various human mortality
databases are provided as well.

mx_qx function

<dl><dt>x</dt>
<dd>Numeric vector of ages at the beginning of each age interval. 
For a full life table, use single-year ages (e.g., <code>0:110</code>). 
For an abridged life table, use the lower bound of each interval 
(e.g., <code>c(0, 1, 5, 10, ..., 110)</code>).</dd>
<dt>nx</dt>
<dd>Length of the age-intervals.</dd>
<dt>ux</dt>
<dd>A vector of mx or qx.</dd>
<dt>out</dt>
<dd>Type of the output: mx or qx.</dd></dl>
