[R] sequential treatment of a vector for formula

[Wu Gong]

I don't know if my understanding of P is right.

P ?= (the number of lives at the end of the interval)/(the number of lives
at the beginning of the interval)

### Compute proportion of a cohort that survives through the interval
### The formula is P0=L1/LO 
## Original data is a vector of death days
example=as.vector(c(8,2,1,5,6,7,7,0,8,10,13,8,11,11,11,2,7,1,5,6,8,6)) 

## Count the frenquency of each death day
## Add more levels to fulfill days range
tb <- table(factor(example,levels=seq(0, max(example))))

## Output
iC <- data.frame("x"=names(tb),
	"Kx"=sum(tb)-cumsum(tb),
	"Dx"=tb[],
	"Lx"=iC$Kx/sum(tb),
	"Px"=iC$Kx/(iC$Kx+tb[]))
