R Documentation

Regression parameters for abridged to full life table conversion

Description

Parameters for age- and sex-specific regression model fit to Human Mortality Database data, to predict single-year qx values from abridged qx values:

log(q_x) = intercept + slope*log(q_x,abridged)

Usage

full_lt_pars

Format

[data.table()] columns:

sex: [character()]
Sex the parameters correspond to: "male" or "female"
age_start: [integer()]
Single-year ages 1-109 representing the age the parameters correspond to
age_end: [integer()]
1 + age_start
intercept: [numeric()]
Intercept for the age- and sex-specific regression model fit
slope: [numeric()]
Slope for the age- and sex-specific regression model fit
