Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References See Also Examples
This function takes as arguments a value for child mortality, an indication of which child mortality indicator is supplied (defaults to 5q0), a possible value for 45q15, a possible target life expectancy to determine the level of mortality and the sex of the desired life table (defaults to "female"). The function selects the appropriate family (and level if a desired life expectancy is supplied or a value for alpha) and returns a life table. The resulting life table defaults to alpha=0.

child.value |
A numeric value for one of four child mortality measures. |
child.mort |
An integer (1-4) to indicate which child mortality indicator is being supplied (1 - 1m0; 2 - 5m0; 3 - 1q0; 4 - 5q0). Defaults to 5q0. |
e0.target |
The desired life expectancy for the life table. If no life expectancy is supplied the resulting life table defaults to alpha=0. |
sex |
"male" or "female" indicates the sex for the desired life table. Defaults to "female". |
adult.mort |
Optional. If supplied, the function uses both the child mortality measure and 45q15 to select the family. Otherwise, just the child mortality indicator is used. |
alpha |
If e0.target is not supplied, alpha defaults to 0. This can be any number with negative values producing lower mortality and positive values producing higher mortality. |
lt.out |
The life table output from the function |
alpha |
The alpha value which produced the table. This value is either user supplied or calculated from the user supplied |
sex |
Sex of the life table. |
family |
An integer (1-5) to indicate the life table family/pattern. |
