UK life tables

Description

AM and AF one year mortality rate. Series of 1992

Usage

data(demoUk)

Format

A data frame with 74 observations on the following 3 variables.

Age

age

AM92

one year mortality rate for males

AF92

one year mortality rate for females

Details

This data set shows the one year survival rates for males and females of the 1992 series. It has been taken from the Institute of Actuaries. The series cannot be directly used to create a life table since neither rates are not provided for ages below 16 nor for ages over 90. Various approach can be used to complete the series.
