In Q2q: Interpolating Age-Specific Mortality Rates at All Ages

getqx

Description

It enables interpolating age-specific mortality rates from an annual life-table.

Usage

getqx(Qx, nag)

Arguments

Qx	Five-ages mortality rates which can be a vector created using combine function 'c()' or a column of a numerical matrix.
nag	number of age groups.

Value

qx : a vector of age-specific mortality rates.

lx : a vector of the age evolution of the population of survivors.

dx : a vector of the theoretical distribution of deaths by age.

qxl : a vector of the age-specific mortality rates interpolated using the Lagrange method.

qxk : a vector of the age-specific mortality rates interpolated using the Karup-King method.

junct_age : the age where qxk and qxl have been joined.
