Sample mortality data stratified by gender/sex in the UK

Description

This is a sample data set used for demonstration purposes. They consist of two 3-dimensional arrays, one for number of deaths (dxt_array_sex) and another for the the corresponding central exposures to risk (Ext_array_sex).

Usage

data("Ext_array_sex")

data("dxt_array_sex")

Format

An object of class array of dimension 2 x 111 x 181.

A 3-dimensional data array (dim 1: strata, dim 2: ages, dim 3: years) with 2 strata (males and females), 111 ages, and 181 years:

"Male": ;
"Female": ..

Examples

##Load exposure data
data("Ext_array_sex")
str(Ext_array_sex)
head(Ext_array_sex)

#extracting a subset of the data (2 genders, ages 0-100, years 1961-2000)
Ext_array_sex[c("Male","Female"),as.character(0:100),as.character(1961:2000)]

##Load death data
data("dxt_array_sex")
str(dxt_array_sex)
head(dxt_array_sex)

#extracting a subset of the data (2 genders, ages 0-100, years 1961-2000)
dxt_array_sex[c("Male","Female"),as.character(0:100),as.character(1961:2000)]
