Weibull Mortality Law - 1939

Description

Note that if sigma > m, then the mode of the density is 0 and hx is a non-increasing function of x, while if sigma < m, then the mode is greater than 0 and hx is an increasing function. m > 0 is a measure of location sigma > 0 is measure of dispersion

Usage

weibull(x, par = NULL)

Arguments

x	vector of age at the beginning of the age classes
par	parameters of the selected model. If NULL the default values will be assigned automatically.

Value

A list of rates and model parameters

Examples

weibull(x = 1:20)
