Description
This package provides support for fitting the vitality family of mortality models that characterize mortality in terms of the loss vitality, an abstract measure of survival capacity. Mortality occurs by two processes. Intrinsic mortality occurs when vitality is depleted by stochastic losses. Extrinsic mortality occurs when a random external challenge exceeds the available vitality. The package contains four model versions:
vitality.k is a 3-parameter model. Intrinsic mortality is characterized by the mean (r) and variability (s) in vitality loss rate. Extrinsic mortality is characterized by the frequency (k) of lethal random challenges. Model is appropriate to animal mortality data (e.g. Anderson 2000).
vitality.ku is a 4-parameter model. Intrinsic mortality is characterized by the mean (r) and variability (s) in the vitality loss rate and the standard deviation of initial vitality (u). Extrinsic mortality is characterized by the frequency (k) of lethal random challenges. Model is appropriate to animal mortality data (e.g. Li and Anderson 2009).
vitality.4p is a 4-parameter model. Intrinsic mortality is characterized by the mean (r) and variability (s) in the vitality loss rate. Extrinsic mortality is characterized by random challenges of frequency (lambda) and random magnitude (beta) exceeding the remaining average vitality. Model is appropriate to adult human mortality data (e.g. Li and Anderson 2013).
vitality.6p is a 6-parameter model. Intrinsic mortality is characterized by the mean (r) and variability (s) in the vitality loss rate. Adult extrinsic mortality is characterized by random challenges of frequency (lambda) and random magnitude (beta) exceeding the remaining average vitality. Child extrinsic mortality is characterized by childhood challenges of frequency (gamma) exceeding childhood vitality development rate (alpha). Model is appropriate to full lifespan of human mortality data (e.g. Anderson and Li 2015).
Model parameters are estimated on survival or mortality rate data using maximum log likelihood methods based on Salinger et al. (2003).
Version 1.1 adds the versions vitality.k, vitality.ku and vitality.6p to the original code for the vitality.4p model previously designated vitality.2ps.
Version 1.2 makes previously invisible functions to produce the survival and mortality rate functions from a given set of parameters (e.g. SurvFn.4p, SurvFn.6p, mu.vd.4p, mu.vd.6p) usable. The child mortality rate formula in mu.vd.6p, mu.vd2.6p, and mu.vd4.6p has been updated to improve fit.
