curveS3

Common S3 methods for objects returned by <code>MC()</code>:
coef(object) gives estimated parameter values.
fitted(object) gives fitted values.
predict(object,x) gives estimated mortality rate(s) for given age(s) x.
plot(object) plots data and fitted mortality curve.
deviance(object) gives weighted sum of squared residuals on \(ln(m_x)\).
residuals(object) gives residuals on \(ln(m_x)\).

Provides tools for fitting parametric mortality curves. Implements multiple optimisation strategies to enhance robustness and stability of parameter estimation. Offers tools for forecasting mortality rates guided by mortality curves.
