Description

This data set contains objects that are necessary for certain package functions and are described in detail below

Usage

data(MLTobs)

Arguments

Format

  • averages.smooth A 48x7 matrix whose columns contain the seven underlying family patterns. Rows 1:24 are the male pattern and rows 25:48 are the female patterns. Used in mortmod.
  • class5 A vector of length 799 which contains the classification for the 799 HMD mortality rate schedules. Used in hmd.DA.mx.
  • f.csd.weight A function to determine the weight for the family-specific deviation. Used in mortmod.
  • Mx.svd.scores A 48x10 matrix whose columns contain the first 10 component score vectors a SVD of the HMD mortality rate schedules.
  • flt.mx A 24x799 matrix whose columns contain the 799 female mortality rate schedules in the Human Mortality Database
  • flt.mx.info A 799x28 matrix. The first four columns contain the Location ID, Location Name, Subgroup type and Period. The remaining columns contain the age-specific mortality rates contained in flt.mx.
  • hi.devs A 8x48 matrix whose first five rows contain the family-age-specific high deviations for when alpha is positive. The 8th row contains the age-specific high deviations from the entire HMD data set. Used in mortmod.
  • hmd.1m0.train.f Training models for females when the input parameters include 1m0. Used in hmd.DA.
  • hmd.1m0.train.m Training models for males when the input parameters include 1m0. Used in hmd.DA.
  • hmd.1m0a.train.f Training models for females when the input parameters include 1m0 and 45q15. Used in hmd.DA.
  • hmd.1m0a.train.m Training models for males when the input parameters include 1m0 and 45q15. Used in hmd.DA.
  • hmd.5m0.train.f Training models for females when the input parameters include 5m0. Used in hmd.DA.
  • hmd.5m0.train.m Training models for males when the input parameters include 5m0. Used in hmd.DA.

  • hmd.5q0.train.m Training models for males when the input parameters include 5q0. Used in hmd.DA.
  • hmd.5q0a.train.f Training models for females when the input parameters include 5q0 and 45q15. Used in hmd.DA.
  • hmd.5q0a.train.m Training models for males when the input parameters include 5q0 and 45q15. Used in hmd.DA.
  • lo.devs A 8x48 matrix whose first five rows contain the family-age-specific low deviations for when alpha is positive. The 8th row contains the age-specific low deviations from the entire HMD data set. Used in mortmod.
  • mlt.mx A 24x799 matrix whose columns contain the 799 male mortality rate schedules in the Human Mortality Database
  • mlt.mx.info A 799x28 matrix. The first four columns contain the Location ID, Location Name, Subgroup type and Period. The remaining columns contain the age-specific mortality rates contained in mlt.mx.
  • opt.alpha.f A 33x7 matrix whose columns contain the female family-specific alpha values to produce life tables with life expectancies at 33 levels from 20-100 in 2.5 year increments
