mortality_projection function

mortality_projection

Forecasting mortality rates.

mortality_projection(
  mortality_rates_path,
  total_population_path,
  omega_age,
  horizon,
  first_year_projection,
  ...
)

Arguments

• mortality_rates_path: character. Path to Mortality rates in a .txt file.
• total_population_path: character. Path to Populations in a .txt file.
• omega_age: numeric. Maximum age.
• horizon: numeric. The forecast horizon.
• first_year_projection: numeric. Year for the base population.
• ...: additional arguments to be passed to forecast::Arima().

Returns

mortality_projection returns an object of class fmforecast with with both female and male mortality projections and the components of demography::forecast.lca().
