FA-63561 / Actuarial life tables / Open access

Joint-life and last-survivor status: Expectation includes time zero · case 01

Curtate expectations are one year too high.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 7 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The sum starts at k=0.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Start the curtate sum at k=1.

Unsuccessful approach: Starting at 2 drops the first year.

Case contract

Input lx, ly (independent lives, survival zero beyond each table), status joint|last (else 'unknown status'), t. Joint: tp_x*tp_y; last survivor: tp_x+tp_y-tp_x*tp_y. Return [status survival at t, curtate expectation = sum over k from 1 to the longer table length - 1], rounded to 6.

Why this case matters

Life-table arithmetic compounds across ages, so one misplaced index or assumption shifts every downstream value.

Verification & scope

A deterministic bounded teaching model of a stipulated toy actuarial contract. Rates are small synthetic tables, exact rationals are used where practical and floats are rounded at the output; it makes no claim of conformance with any published table, standard of practice or regulation. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
