Hi,
I am using the package "demography" from Rob Hyndman for the
Lee-Carter-Model. It is an amazing powerful tool but I am struggling
with
one issue:
*I want to compute different quintiles for the cumulative survival
probability derived from the Lee-Carter-Forecast (e.g. the 50%-
quintile,
75%-quintile and 99%-quintile) for the next 10 years. *
The fact that you appear not to know the difference between the words
'quantile' and 'quintile' makes me wonder whether what you are really
asking for are confidence intervals at chosen significance levels?
I am sure the package possess this functionality but I didn't find
any way
to calculate quintile values.
Hope you can help me!
Thanks
Jonas
