generateAgeShift

Generate a dataframe suitable to be passed to the mortalityTable.ageShift
class.

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.
