flc.plot

Miscellaneous plotting functions for lca and lca.rh type regression objects. Plot of forecasted Lee-Carter model based on a fitted model object

Description

Plots the forecasted period effect and life expectancy of the fitted Lee-Carter model in a single graphical window.

Usage

flc.plot(lca.obj, at = 65, ...)

Arguments

`lca.obj`	an object of class `lca`
`at`	target age at which to calculate life expectancy
`...`	additional arguments to `forecast` function

Details

It makes use of a univariate ARIMA process (i.e. random walk with drift) in order to extrapolate the period effect k_t, which is illustrated by the fitted calendar years together with the corresponding forecasted life expectancy at the specified target age.

Value
