<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"> Thank you for your interest in using BaSTA. Currently, the package calculates a life table, but we are fixing several bugs. As an alternative, I’ve put together the
package paramDemo in GitHub (<a href="https://github.com/fercol/paramDemo">https://github.com/fercol/paramDemo</a>). With it you can calculate life expectancy and other summary statistics with the mortality parameter outputs from BaSTA. Let me know if this
is something that can help and if you need any assistance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
