find_tau: Function to find the value of tau
In MortalityGaps: The Double-Gap Life Expectancy Forecasting Model
Description
Function to find the value of female life expectancy where the sex-gap is no
longer expanding (tau). This method is slightly different than the one indicated
in the original paper (likelihood). The main advantage: speed.
Usage
1
find_tau(X, a = 1.05, f = 0.5)
Arguments
X
Input data object generated by prepare_data function.
a
Adjustment factor for maximum female life expectancy.
f
the smoother span. This gives the proportion of points in
the plot which influence the smooth at each value.
Larger values give more smoothness.
