In DasGuptR: Das Gupta Standardisation and Decomposition

Creates a small table of Das Gupta standardised rates. If no populations are specified, rates will be shown for all available populations. If only two populations (or if two particular populations are specified), then rate-differences and 'decomposition effects' are calculated and presented.

Description

Creates a small table of Das Gupta standardised rates. If no populations are specified, rates will be shown for all available populations. If only two populations (or if two particular populations are specified), then rate-differences and 'decomposition effects' are calculated and presented.

Usage

dg_table(dgo, pop1 = NULL, pop2 = NULL)

Arguments

dgo	output from dgnpop()
pop1	optional name of first population for decomposition (character/numeric)
pop2	optional name of second population for decomposition (character/numeric)

Value

data.frame object with rows for each of the K-a standardised rates and the crude rates, and columns for each of the N populations. When only two populations are included, or if two populations are explicitly specified, standardised rate differences are provided, and are also expressed as a percentage of the crude rate differences (typically referred to as 'decomposition effects').
