bootstrap {StMoMo}

Generic method for bootstrapping a fitted Stochastic Mortality Model

Description

bootstrap is a generic function for bootstrapping Stochastic Mortality Models. The function invokes particular methods which depend on the class of the first argument.

Usage

bootstrap(object, nBoot, ...)

Arguments

object

an object used to select a method. Typically of class fitStMoMo or an extension of this class.

nBoot

number of bootstrap samples to produce.

...

arguments to be passed to or from other methods.

Details

bootstrap is a generic function which means that new fitting strategies can be added for particular stochastic mortality models. See for instance bootstrap.fitStMoMo.
