A collection of parametric mortality models and tools for constructing life tables. The dataset includes functions for fitting popular mortality 'laws' and downloading data from various human mortality databases. It was authored by Marius D. Pascariu and is associated with the paperswithcode platform.
Use Cases
- Fit parametric mortality models based on the provided mortality laws.
- Construct full and abridged life tables based on various input indices.
- Download and integrate mortality data from external human mortality databases using the provided practical functions.
- Analyze the dying-out process of populations over significant life spans using parametric functions.
Strengths
- Provides functions for fitting multiple popular human mortality laws.
- Includes tools for constructing both full and abridged life tables.
- Offers practical functions for downloading data from various human mortality databases.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count, file formats, and license information are unknown.
