ggbFittedFromAges: make the growth-adjusted quasi life table columns required by...

In DDM: Death Registration Coverage Estimation

Description

Called by ggbChooseAges() and ggbcoverageFromYear(). This simply modulates some code that would otherwise be repeated. Users probably don't need to call this function directly. If columns produced by ggbMakeColumns() are not present, then we call it here just to keep things from breaking.

Usage

ggbFittedFromAges(codi, agesfit, deaths.summed = FALSE)

Arguments

codi	a chunk of data (single sex, year, region, etc) with all columns required by ggb()
agesfit	an a priori set of ages for which to calculate the fit
deaths.summed	logical. is the deaths column given as the total per age in the intercensal period (TRUE). By default we assume FALSE, i.e. that the average annual was given.

Value

codi, with many columns added, most importantly $rightterm, $leftterm, and $exclude.
