ggbsegMakeColumns: make the Bennett-Horiuchi quasi life table columns required...
In DDM: Death Registration Coverage Estimation

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

Called by ggbsegCoverageFromYear(). This simply modulates some code that would otherwise be repeated. Users probably don't need to call this function directly.

1 2	ggbsegMakeColumns(codi, minA = 15, maxA = 75, agesFit, eOpen = NULL, deaths.summed = FALSE)

`codi`	a chunk of data (single sex, year, region, etc) with all columns required by `ggbseg()`
`minA`	the minimum of the age range searched. Default 15
`maxA`	the maximum of the age range searched. Default 75
`agesFit`	vector of ages as passed in by `ggbsegCoverageFromYear)`
`eOpen`	optional. A value for remaining life expectancy in the open age group.
`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.

agesFit is a vector passed in from ggbsegMakeColumns(), and it was either estimated using the GGB automatic method there, or simply came from the argument exact.ages specified in ggbseg(). By default we just automatically estimate these. eOpen can be either user-specified, or it will be estimated automatically using eOpenCD().

codi, with many columns added, most importantly $Cx.
