Subject: (Module): In version up to 0.92 likelihood was computed

(Module): In version up to 0.92 likelihood was computed
as if date of death was unknown. Death was treated as any other
health state: the date of the interview describes the actual state
and not the date of a change in health state. The former idea was
to consider that at each interview the state was recorded
(healthy, disable or death) and IMaCh was corrected; but when we
introduced the exact date of death then we should have modified
the contribution of an exact death to the likelihood. This new
contribution is smaller and very dependent of the step unit
stepm. It is no more the probability to die between last interview
and month of death but the probability to survive from last
interview up to one month before death multiplied by the
probability to die within a month. Thanks to Chris
Jackson for correcting this bug.  Former versions increased
mortality artificially. The bad side is that we add another loop
which slows down the processing. The difference can be up to 10%
lower mortality. Version 0.93
