force_of_mortality_GM: Calculate Gompertz-Makeham Force of Motion

In m-g-h/mortality:

Description

\loadmathjax

Calculates \mjseqn\mu(t) = A + R e^\alpha t

Usage

force_of_mortality_GM(t, A, R, alpha)

Arguments

t	numeric scalar or vector corresponding to the age(s) \mjseqnt
A	numeric scalar corresponding to the \mjseqnA parameter
R	numeric scalar corresponding to the \mjseqnR parameter
alpha	numeric scalar corresponding to the \mjseqn\alpha parameter

Value

Returns a numeric scalar giving the Gompertz-Makeham force of mortality \mjseqn\mu(t)

Examples

# You can use a single age:
force_of_mortality_GM(t = 0,
                      A = 0.00033,
                      R = 0.00014,
                      alpha = 0.11521)

# Or a vector of ages:
force_of_mortality_GM(t = 0:100,
                      A = 0.00033,
                      R = 0.00014,
                      alpha = 0.11521
                      )
