getLifecontingencyPv: Functions to obtain the present value of a life contingency given the time to death

Description

It returns the present value of a life contingency, specified by its APV symbol, known the time to death ob the sibjects

Usage

getLifecontingencyPv(deathsTimeX, lifecontingency, object, x, t, i = object@interest, 
m = 0, k = 1, payment = "advance")
getLifecontingencyPvXyz(deathsTimeXyz, lifecontingency, tablesList, x, t, i, m = 0, 
k = 1, status = "joint", payment = "advance")

Arguments

deathsTimeX

lifecontingency

lifecontingency symbol

object

life table(s)

x

age(s) of the policyholder(s)

t

term of the contract

i
