Optional Death Argument #19

Closed nblaffey closed 3 years ago

nblaffey commented 4 years ago

Currently the package does not support attaching deaths so there is no way to differentiate between deaths and policies that reached the end of the study period. It would be nice if there were an optional argument where you could pass in a vector of binary values representing dead/alive and attach it to all the max durations per policy and backfill the earlier durations with alive. I think this will make using the package a lot more streamlined for more practical applications.

The current workflow is that users are proficient with tools like dplyr and perform this action manually. This package is now deprecated.

I think Julia has more promise than R and should become the official language of actuarial science for its high performance capabilities. Please support https://github.com/JuliaActuary/ExperienceAnalysis.jl
