#' Fitting routines for the Vitality family of mortality models.
#'
#' This package provides support for fitting models in the vitality family of mortality models.
#' Currently, the 4-parameter and 6paramter 2-process models are included, but planned updates will
#' include all published versions of the models, as well as Bayesian parameter estimation routines.
#'
#' Support developing this package was provided to J. Anderson by Bonneville Power Administration
#' and the University of Washington Center for Statistics and the Social Sciences
#' and to G. Passolt by the University of Washington Center for studies in Demography and Ecology.
