A linear model of an annual mortality parameter, which is
-log(annual survival)
, as a function of N predictors x, which must be the
first N columns of x.
The parameters are standard slope and intercept for a linear model. There must be one additional column in x for the time interval t. The linear model predicts annual log(survival).
Return value is predicted survival rate (probability) over an interval of t years. Nothing prevents the output from being outside (0,1); that must be handled in the likelihood function.
