Hi, I am using the package "demography" from Rob Hyndman for the Lee-Carter-Model. It is an amazing powerful tool but I am struggling with one issue: *I want to compute different quintiles for the cumulative survival probability derived from the Lee-Carter-Forecast (e.g. the 50%-quintile, 75%-quintile and 99%-quintile) for the n...

Dear list: I have tried demography package in my Ubuntu(10.04). What I interested in was lifetable analysis. Chiang(1984)'s reference have been copied to steeper my learning curve. step by step, the example presented by the textbook also have been examined. In the course I find that the paramter "fraction of last age interv...

...ucto pero tengo un histórico incompleto (para los productos más nuevos tengo la vida completa de las cohortes, pero para los más antiguos tengo sólo la parte final de la vida de las cohortes). He decidido calcular la esperanza de vida dinámica con un modelo actuarial, concretamente la librería 'demography' y tengo varias dudas sobre su uso: 1- Todas las funciones permiten el uso por 'cohortes' y por 'períodos', sin embargo, cuando uso la función 'lifeexpectancy' por cohortes da error ¿cómo habría que preparar los datos para analizar la información por cohortes?. 2...

...LSE) {UseMethod("median")} I suggest that this should become median <- function (x, na.rm = FALSE, ...) {UseMethod("median")} This would allow additional S3 methods to be developed with additional arguments. Currently I have to over-ride this generic definition in the demography package because median.demogdata has several other arguments. This shouldn't break any code, and will make it easier for new S3 methods to be developed. It is also consistent with almost all other S3 methods which do include an ellipsis. -------------------------------------------------------...

...in SAS it is not difficult once you know what you are doing and what is required. My limited knowledge of R suggests that it may be a bit more difficult. Can anyone please provide me with some guidance or sample code for producing a standard table or listing. A good starting point can be a demography table. I can produce a demog table quite easily in SAS. My R knowledge is limited that's why I have ask for some sample code. Thanks for your help. Orin

Update (for me): * On HPUX (cc/f77/make), make check passes the Examples but fails in arith-true.R because is.infinite(.Machine$double.base ^ .Machine$double.max.exp) gives FALSE. Interestingly > .Machine$double.base [1] 2 > .Machine$double.max.exp [1] 1024 > 2 ^ 1024 [1] 1.797693e+308 > 2 ^ 1025 [1] 1.797693e+308 > 2 ^ 2024 [1] 1.797693e+308 so I guess we need help here. *
