MortalitySmooth-package: Smoothing Poisson counts with P-splines

In MortalitySmooth: Smoothing and Forecasting Poisson Counts with P-Splines

Description

Smoothing one- and two-dimensional Poisson counts with P-splines specifically tailored to mortality data. Extra-Poisson variation can be accounted as well as mortality forecasting. Collection of mortality data and a specific function for selecting those data by country, sex, age and years.
