Hi,
I am a bit confused with the notation used when dealing with multiple decrement tables. For eaxample, (ad)_x^w (so subscript x and superscript w) means: number of withdrawals between exact ages x and x+1. Does the 'a' in (ad)_x^w refer to the 'able' state or is it just some notational thing indicating we are dealing with dependent probabilities?
If so, would someone dying from the 'withdrawn' state be denoted by: (wd)_x^d or simply (aq)_x^d? Or something else?
Another question: (ad)_x^d is the number of deaths in service between ages x and x+1. Is this equal to (aq)_x^d?
Hope someone could clear up this!
Thanks in advanve,
