The conversion from mx to qx is done using the assumption that mx is equal to a constant force of mortality in the age interval. This gives:
nqx = 1 - exp(-n*nMx)
This implies that the separation factor, nax, is:
nax = n + 1/nMx - n/nqx
However, the 1a0 and 4a1 are replaced by the Coale-Demeny (see p. 20 of Coale and Demeny, 1983) west formulas (here for males):
1a0 = 0.33 if q0 >= 0.100
= 0.045 + 2.875 * q0
This seems to have been transformed to make it a function of m0 as:
1a0 = 0.33 if 1m0 >= 0.107
= 0.045 + 2.684 * 1m0
This does not give the correct results. I am working on the revised formula. Should be ready tomorrow.
