missing documentation entries about lifecontingencies HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi Giorgio,

I did not write a documentation file for the lifetable constructor. I'll send in a pull request shortly.

But I also wanted to mention another issue I ran across. When checking the package via the "Check" button in RStudio I got an error message when trying to build the vignette "an_introduction_to_lifecontingencies_package.Rnw"

Error: processing vignette 'an_introduction_to_lifecontingencies_package.Rnw' failed with diagnostics:
chunk 5 (label = structure3)
Error : evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion / options(expressions=)?
Execution halted

This error occurs when you try to evaluate the following function in R:
showMethods(classes=c("actuarialtable","lifetable"))

Take a look and see if you get a similar error.

Thanks,

Ernesto

Hi Ernesto, I did not find that error (but I compiled the package on 3.2.2.). What it seems strange to me is that TRAVIS CI seems all ok. What I can do is to compare the CRAN published and the committed version of lifecontingencies class... I think it is a weird issues.

I probably found the error... There was need to write an initialize method for both lifetable and actuarialtable classes

from lifecontingencies.

Since I wrote an initialize method for lifetable I also was supposed to write the user documentation for it. That is the real issue. I have not written an initialize method for actuarialtable. Once I do that I'll also write the accompanying documentation file.

I was also working with with a couple of other branches on my local git repository and since I'm fairly new at git I got myself confused with the branches and commits.

I have re-initialized my fork of lifecontingencies and later today I'll submit a pull request for the documentation of lifetable.

Would you mind closing the current pull request?

thank you very much!

the issue is closed, I also sligthy modified the test (making lifetables to be created by new("lifetable"))

from lifecontingencies.

Ok. Since you have lifetables created by new then there is no need for a lifetable function that constructs the object (all taken care within the initialize method).

There is some duplication of code for the initialize method for new lifetable and new actuarialtable.
