In DasGuptR: Das Gupta Standardisation and Decomposition

Standardisation and decomposition of rates over K rate-factors and 2 populations. We suggest using dgnpop, which will internally call this function.

Description

Standardisation and decomposition of rates over K rate-factors and 2 populations. We suggest using dgnpop, which will internally call this function.

Usage

dg2pop(pw, pop, factors, id_vars, ratefunction = NULL, quietly = TRUE)

Arguments

pw	dataframe containing two populations worth of factor data, with columns specifying 1) population and 2) each rate-factor to be considered. must have column named "pop" indicating the population ID.
pop	name (character string) of variable indicating population
factors	names (character vector) of variables indicating compositional factors
id_vars	character vector of variables indicating sub-populations
ratefunction	user defined character string in R syntax that when evaluated specifies the function defining the rate as a function of factors. if NULL then will assume rate is the product of all factors.
quietly	logical indicating whether interim messages should be outputted indicating progress through the P factors

Value

named list along set of K factors included in the standardisation. Each list element contains a data.frame that includes K-a standardised rates for each population, along with differences between standardised rates
