plotMLT: Plotting function for life table quantities
In LifeTables: Two-Parameter HMD Model Life Table System

Description Usage Arguments Details Author(s) See Also Examples

View source: R/plotMLT.R

Plots either a single column or scrolls through a plot for each column from a life table calculated from a user supplied mortality rate schedule

1 2	plotMLT(..., mx.out, sex, lt.col = "All", log = FALSE, age = c(0, 1, seq(5, 110, 5)))

`...`	Arguments to pass to `par`
`mx.out`	A mortality rate schedule with age groups 0-1, 1-4, 5-9, 10-14,..., up to any open interval.
`sex`	The sex for the calculated life table. "male" or "female"
`lt.col`	The desired life table quantity to plot. lt.col="All", the default, will scroll through a plot of each quantity when the user keys "return" after each plot. Otherwise a specific column can be selected by using the following integers (1-nmx, 2-nqx, 3-npx, 4-ndx, 5-lx, 6-nLx, 7-Tx, 8-ex)
`log`	Logical. If TRUE and `lt.col` is not set to "All", the y-axis will be in log scale.
`age`	The start ages for each interval in the life table

If lt.col=3 (npx) and log=TRUE, a warning message will appear noting that a y value <= 0 is omitted. This is the probability of surviving the final interval, which is by definition, 0.
