ageShift,mortalityTable.ageShift-method

Return the age shift of the age-shifted life table given the birth year

Classes to implement, analyze and plot cohort life tables
for actuarial calculations. Birth-year dependent cohort mortality
tables using a yearly trend to extrapolate from a base year are implemented,
as well as period life table, cohort life tables using an age shift, and
merged life tables. Additionally, several data sets from various countries
are included to provide widely-used tables out of the box.

MortalityTables

A Framework for Various Types of Mortality / Life Tables

ageShift function

<dl><dt>object</dt>
<dd>The life table object (class inherited from mortalityTable)</dd>
<dt>YOB</dt>
<dd>The birth year for which the age shift should be determined.</dd>
<dt>...</dt>
<dd>Other parameters (currently unused)</dd></dl>

Arguments

<ul>
<li><code>ageShift(mortalityTable)</code>: Age shifts apply only to mortalityTagle.ageShift, so
all other tables return NA.</li>
<li><code>ageShift(mortalityTable.ageShift)</code>: Return the age shift of the age-shifted life table
given the birth year</li>
</ul>
