weibull

Note that if sigma &gt; m, then the mode of the density is 0 and hx is a
non-increasing function of x, while if sigma &lt; m, then the mode is
greater than 0 and hx is an increasing function.
m &gt; 0 is a measure of location
sigma &gt; 0 is measure of dispersion

Fit the most popular human mortality 'laws', and construct
full and abridge life tables given various input indices. A mortality
law is a parametric function that describes the dying-out process of
individuals in a population during a significant portion of their
life spans. For a comprehensive review of the most important mortality
laws see Tabeau (2001) <doi:10.1007/0-306-47562-6_1>.
Practical functions for downloading data from various human mortality
databases are provided as well.
