DBKGrad: An R Package for Mortality Rates Graduation by Discrete Beta Kernel Techniques
We introduce the R package DBKGrad, conceived to facilitate the use of kernel smoothing in graduating mortality rates. The package implements univariate and bivariate adaptive discrete beta kernel estimators. Discrete kernels have been preferred because, in this context, variables such as age, calen...
