R Documentation

Gompertz–Makeham intensity function.

The intensity function (or hazard function) for the Gompertz-Makeham law of mortality distribution is defined as

h(x) = \alpha e^{\beta x} + \lambda

with \alpha, \beta, \lambda \in {R}_+.

gompertz(alpha, beta, lambda = 0)

A C++ version of this function is available. See vignette('IBMPopSim_cpp') for more details.

Function which associates x to \alpha exp(\beta x) + \lambda.
