fitted.BLC {BayesMortalityPlus}

R Documentation

BLC: Fitted death probabilities (qx)

Description

Computes the fitted values associated to each age and year based on the resulting chains from a fitted BLC model. In addition, this function also evaluates the values of lower and upper limits of the credible interval.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'BLC'
fitted(object, prob = 0.95, ...)

Arguments

object	A BLC or PredBLC object, result of a call to blc() or predict() function.
prob	A real number that indicates the probability of the credible interval.
...	Other arguments.

Value

A list with the matrices of fitted values and lower and upper limits of the credible interval for each age and year.

fitted.HP() and fitted.DLM() for HP or DLM methods.

Examples

## Importing log-mortality data from Portugal:
data(PT)
Y <- PT

## Fitting the model
fit = blc(Y = Y, M = 100, bn = 20)

## Log-mortalities estimates for each age and year in model fitted
fitted(fit, prob = 0.95)
