mean.PredBLC {BayesMortalityPlus}

BLC: Arithmetic mean for predictions

Description

Calculates the means based on the resulting chains from a predicted year.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'PredBLC'
mean(x, h, ...)

Arguments

x

A PredBLC object, result to the pred() function call on a BLC object.

h

A positive integer specifying the year in the prediction horizon to be calculated.

...

Further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Value

A vector with the mean values of the log-mortality chains.

Examples

data(PT)
Y <- PT

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

## Prediction for 2 years ahead
pred = predict(fit, h = 2)

mean(pred, 1)
mean(pred, 2)
