package ‘lifecontingencies’ is not available (for R version 3.3.1)
Actuarialtable and lifetable initialization procedures have many duplicated code... Optimization, should be performed having a look to s4 classes best practices (callNextMethods...)
Hello,
first at all, thank you for the package.
I am testing a whole life annuity in arrears with k = 12, x = 60 and i = 0.04. I am using my own table that I attach with the lx.
The result in R is as follows:
axn(table, x=60, i = 0.04, k=12, payment = "arrears")
[1] 10.82216
Using an Excel (attached) the result is:
10.8272718556912
I am triying to understand the difference after second decimal.

Thanks a lot,
Annuity immediate / due should be fixed in temrinology and possibly in parameters definitions / calculations
When compiling to resubmit the package on CRAN I found this Warning...
It seems the constructor to have been altered since last commit
I have been working with your package. I had a issue, and it is depending of the multiple decrements table the probability of survival turns to be negative. I couldn't replicate this until now, but to take care of it.
Hello,
Is there any way to calculate axn and azyzn with geometrically increasing?
Thanks

The new vignette appears to generate an issue in the package compilation. It breaks package compilation
Errore: processing vignette 'mortality_projection.Rnw' failed with diagnostics:

In my attempt to regenerate AM92 table (with duration 0, 1, 2+/ultimate) , I reckon that current version will not provide a correct result. I manually crossed-check with IFoA 's Formulae and Tables for Examination.
The reason is obvious : after 2 years, the mortality will eventually becomes "ultimate".
Example :
tp[x] = l_([x]+t)/l_[x]
for t>=2, l_([x]+t) = l_(x+t)
N_[x] = summation(D_y) for y = [x] to infinity
= D_[x] + D_([x] + 1) + D_([x] + 2) + D_([x] + 3) + ...
= v^x*l_[x] + v^(x+1)*l_([x]+1) + v^(x+2)*l_([x]+2) + v^(x+3)l_([x]+3) + ...
= v^xl_[x] + v^(x+1)*l_([x]+1) + v^(x+2)*l_([x]+2) + v^(x+3)l_([x]+3) + ...
= v^xl_[x] + v^(x+1)*l_([x]+1) + N_(x+2)
Similarly for exn or any commutation formulas involving summation over an extending period of time. There will be a jump of reference between duration 0, duration 1 and duration2/ultimate.
Hence the current approach of lifetable and actuarialtable class with an input of a single series of lx will not solve the problem. (most of function pxt, qxt exn, axn or Axn now will no longer gives a correct result)
(1) I have an approach for a single specific case. Example : entry age 45 >>> create a unique vector {q_[45], q_([45]+1), q_47, q_48,.... } >>> create lifetable/acfuarialtable accordingly. However the table is only applicable for entry age 45. Assuming I am trying to valuate 1000 policies. To generate tables for every single entry age is not efficient in my limited opinion.
(2) I believe this enhancement suggestion is important because selected mortality is a part of actuarial student curriculum. To bring the package closer to students like myself, we need to make sure that students can easily apply them to solve their problems at school.
(3) In my own attempting to adjust the current codes, I changed an entire definition of those two classes but I am curently not aware of its overall impact to the packages ( as I am still in the learning process. )
Thank you and I find the package really fascinating.
Old R actuarial functions should be moved to backup file to ease maintenance.
Unuseful comments should be removed from R code and put in man files (by roxygen)
The new markdown bibliography should be integrated by bibliography correctly set out using markdown. See the vignette as amended by me (I have added the first two entries, @IvanWilli should finish the remaining). This is related to #28
require(lifecontingencies)
data("demoGermany")
lifetableMale = probs2lifetable(probs= demoGermany$qxMale, radix = 10000, type = "qx", name= "DE 1994 Male")
actuarialTable = new("actuarialtable",x=lifetableMale@x, lx=lifetableMale@lx, interest=0.02, name="German Male '94 actuarialtable")
age = 109
limit = 111
payout = 2000
payout * axn(actuarialtable = actuarialTable,
x = age,
n = limit,
i = actuarialTable@interest,
k = 1)
results in: 4762.061
As does
payout * axn(actuarialtable = actuarialTable,
x = age,
n = limit,
i = actuarialTable@interest,
m = 0,
k = 1)
The compilation is currently not working due to issues on recreating NAMESPACE with roxygen2
Dear Giorgo,
With respect to the second bug, I suggest these changes in the code of the functions pxt and Axn.
The reason for the pxt function is that if I use it with a lifetable that has the last probability px greater than zero, the result is incorrect, but if I use a vector of qx's that has the last probability equal to one, and if I convert it to a lifetable with the probs2lifetable function, the result is correct.
Axn
function (actuarialtable, x, n, i = actuarialtable@interest, m, k = 1, type = "EV", power = 1)
{
[...]
if (missing(n))
n = getOmega(actuarialtable) - x - m + 1
[...]
}
pxt
function (object, x, t, fractional = "linear", decrement)
{
[...]
if((tabla@lx[omega]>0) && (x + t) == (omega+1) )
{out <- 1/object@lx[which(object@x == x)]}
else {
if ((x + t) > omega)
out <- 0
[...]
}
With reference to this source : https://www.investopedia.com/exam-guide/cfa-level-1/fixed-income-investments/effective-modified-macaulay-duration.asp
Current duratiion function in v1.3.2
function (cashFlows, timeIds, i, k = 1, macaulay = TRUE)
{
out = 0
if (missing(timeIds)) {
warning("Warning: missing time vector")
timeIds = 1
}
if (!(length(cashFlows) == length(timeIds)))
stop("Error! check dimensionality of cash flow and time ids vectors")
interestRates = rep(i/k, length.out = length(timeIds))
ts = timeIds * k
v = (1 + interestRates)^-(ts)
pv = sum((cashFlows * v))
weightedTime = sum((cashFlows * v * ts))
out = weightedTime/pv
if (macaulay == FALSE)
out = out
else out = out/(1 + i/k)
return(out)
}
Instead it should be
if (macaulay == TRUE)
out = out
else out = out/(1 + i/k)
return(out)
"Else" part in fact refers to Modified Duration, Not Effective Duration like documentation states (Although in some cases, Modified and Effective duration are the same)
#SUGGESTION:
1/Fixed the modified and effective duration in function and their documentation accordingly
2/Add another option of effective duration calculation.
Annuities in Rcpp should be implemented
It appears that R requires "native routine" to be defined. See this GitHub page for more details GitHub
See Valdez code
I’m trying to reproduce the example given under the heading
Insurance and annuities on two heads in your Introduction to lifecontingencies Package, page 22, with my own data.
However, I get 2 different values:
axn(ActMannTables[[1]], x=100) + axn(ActFrauTables[[1]], x=102) - axyn(ActMannTables[[1]], ActFrauTables[[1]], x=100, y=102, status="joint", m=0)
#5.928079849
axyzn(list(ActMannTables[[1]], ActFrauTables[[1]]), x=c(100, 102), status="last", m=0)
#5.860986613
Shouldn’t they be the same?
Attached is the script. (10 different actuarial tables are created, but you can ignore that. Only the 2 actuarial tables for male and female with i=0.04 are used.)
The difference gets smaller if I reduce the age of x and y.
Kind regards from Hannover, Germany

Since we only support R 4.1, 4.2 on Conda Forge right now, I patched the latest release to R >= 4.1
and everything appears to build without issue and all the tests pass on all platforms. Is there something problematic I should be looking for? What was the motivation for declaring this package incompatible with earlier R versions?
A recent release of roxygen2 makes latin1 encoding not working anymore (see from r-lib/roxygen2#787). Thus latin1 encoding should be removed
