# LifeTable¶

Commutation functions and actuarial notations

The LifeTable space includes Cells to calculate commutation functions and actuarial notations for given Sex, IntRate and MortalityTable. MortalityTable and Sex are used in qx() below to identify the mortality rates to be applied.

Example

An example of LifeTable in the simplelife model:

>>> space = simplelife.LifeTable

>>> space.Sex = 'M'

>>> space.IntRate = 0.03

>>> space.MortalityTable = lambda sex, x: 0.001 if x < 110 else 1

>>> space.AnnDuenx(40, 10)
