Description

Lookup tables containing values for various model life tables, including Coale-Demeny and UN life tables.

Usage

data(MLTlookup)
data(MLT1Ylookup)

Format

Data frame with the following columns:

type

Type of the model life table. Available options are “CD_East”, “CD_North”, “CD_South”, “CD_West”, “UN_Chilean”, “UN_Far_Eastern”, “UN_General”, “UN_Latin_American”, “UN_South_Asian”. For the CD types, see Coale et al. (1983). For the UN types, see the link in References below.

e0

Level of life expectancy, starting at 20 and going by steps of 2.5 up to 115.

mx

Mortality rates.

lx, Lx, sx

Other life table columns.
