addDetails

Depending on the chosen mortality law, additional details need to be
specified in order to be able to fit the models taking into account it's
particularities.

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.
