IIRC, the first two listed above are just alternate formulations of the standard Gompertz/Makeham formulas. Implementation should be straightforward (ref the MIT-licensed R package MortalityLaws), but it would be good to put thought into if there is a better name than Name0.

The Carrrie ones, IIRC are combinations of other distirbutions? If that's the right memory, than one possible implementation would be a new struct with the underlying parametric models passed as its fields.

Tried to implement and added AlterMakeham, AlterGompertz, Carriere1 and Carriere2 and updated parameterized_models.jl. Please advise how it can be uploaded/pulled to review.

My bad not to keep this up to date. Are these issues still open, since there does not seem carriere models? Thanks.

There was a comment on this issue but it seemed disappeared. Can you advise what the status is again? Thanks.
