The BaseProj Space#

Core annual cashflow projection logic for a single traditional life policy.

This Space defines the period-by-period Cells that project policy decrement, benefits, premiums, commissions, expenses, investment income, reserves and the resulting net cashflow and profit for one model point. It is the base Space inherited by Projection, which parameterizes these Cells by policy and scenario.

Parameters and References#

The following references are defined in this Space and inherited by Projection. The integer idx from the enclosing Projection ItemSpace is used to index into the per-policy NumPy arrays returned by pol and asmp.

pol#: Alias for PolicyAttrs.

asmp#: Alias for Assumptions.

scen#: Alias for Economic.

comm_table#: Alias for CommTable.
