Details

Since a pension tables describes mortalities of actives and of disabled separately, the overall mortality is a function of these two. The function pT.calculateTortalMortality calculates this overall mortality in a way that is consistent with the individual transition probabilities of the pension table.

In particular, the pension table describes the mortalities of the individual sub-populations of actives, disabled and old-age pensioners. The overall mortality is the mortality that results when one discards the additional information about the state and just observes deaths. Internally, the overall mortality is calculated by starting from 10,000 actives and applying the transition dynamics of the pension table to the sub-populations.

For a detailled description, see e.g. the documentation of the Austrian pension table AVÖ 2018-P or the German Heubeck Table DAV 2005-G.
