In merlinoa/diehard3000: Simulate Survival Contingent Benefits using Actuarial Life Tables

Description

Returns the index numbers for all values in an ascending vector between the floor of the x_ argument and the ceiling of the x + m_t_ arguments. This is a utility function often used for extracting the q_x values that are applicable to a subset of a LifeTable object.

Usage

index(x, x_, m_t_ = 1)

Arguments

x	vector of ascending numerics
x_	the index of the first x value to be returned.
m_t_	the index of the last x value to be returned. This is oftern m_ + t_, m_ or t_ when the x_ argument is set to x_ + t_.

Examples

my_x <- 0:9
index(my_x, x_ = 2, m_t_ = 3)
index(my_x, x_ = 2.4, m_t_ = 3)
index(my_x, x_ = 2.4, m_t_ = 0)
