Age-specific mortality rates are estimated and projected using 
    the Kannisto, Lee-Carter and related methods as described in 
    Sevcikova et al. (2016) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-26603-9_15>.

The Society of Actuaries (SOA) provides an extensive online 
    database called 'Mortality and Other Rate Tables' ('MORT') at 
    <https://mort.soa.org/>. This database contains mortality, lapse, and 
    valuation tables that cover a variety of product types and nations. Users of
    the database can download any tables in 'Excel', 'CSV', or 'XML' formats. 
    This package provides convenience functions that read 'XML' formats from the 
    database and return R objects.

Provides a comprehensive set of tools for working with order statistics,
    including functions for simulating order statistics, censored samples (Type I and Type II),
    and record values from various continuous distributions. Additionally, it offers functions 
    to compute moments (mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis) of order statistics for several 
    continuous distributions. These tools assist researchers and statisticians in understanding 
    and analyzing the properties of order statistics and related data. The methods and algorithms 
    implemented in this package are based on several published works, including

Data sets and utilities from Project MOSAIC (<http://www.mosaic-web.org>) used
    to teach mathematics, statistics, computation and modeling.  Funded by the
    NSF, Project MOSAIC is a community of educators working to tie together
    aspects of quantitative work that students in science, technology,
    engineering and mathematics will need in their professional lives, but
    which are usually taught in isolation, if at all.
