In HPbayes: Heligman Pollard mortality model parameter estimation using Bayesian Melding with Incremental Mixture Importance Sampling

Description

Calculates the age-specific probabilities of death using the Heligman-Pollard model

Usage

mod8p(theta, x)

Arguments

theta	A vector containing values for the 8 parameters of the Heligman-Pollard model
x	A vector containing the ages at which to calculate the probabilities of death

Value

A vector of probabilities of death at ages defined by x

Examples

theta <- c(0.06008, 0.31087, 0.34431, 0.00698,

age <- c(0.00001, 1, seq(5, 85, 5))
result <- mod8p(theta=theta, x=age)
