Issues related to the `kin2sex vignette` about demokin HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @thiagocalm. You´re welcome, thanks for the feedbacks to improve it, well apreciated.

• I´ll correct that soon.
• You are right. Using male survival will do for example that ego has fewer living parents at oldest ages, as you show in your exercise. This kind of exercise are good also for decompose sex gap in kin availability, testing scenarios with sex-specific mortality or fertility.
  As a final note, consider also that the vignette don´t include as input observed distribution of parents by age, so stable assumption is used with female pattern, which makes younger fathers for ego that should have in average.

Hello @IvanWilli. Thanks for your response. And, you're right, I forgot the underlying female-pattern assumption for parent age distribution in the vignette example. This can affect the results and, maybe, even can be decomposed as well.
