data.RH.mortality: 2-sample mortality data.

In apc: Age-Period-Cohort Analysis

Description

Function that organises mortality data from Riebler and Held (2010) in apc.data.list format.

The data set is taken from the supplementary data of Riebler and Held (2010). Mortality data for women in Denmark and Norway

The original source was Jacobsen et al. (2004).

The data set is in "AP"-format.

Usage

data.RH.mortality.dk()
data.RH.mortality.no()

Value

The value is a list in apc.data.list format.

response	matrix of cases
dose	matrix of cases/rates
data.format	logical equal to "AP". Data organised with age-groups in rows and period-groups in columns.
age1	numeric equal to 0.
per1	numeric equal to 1960.
coh1	NULL. Not needed when data.format="AP"
unit	numeric equal to 5. This is the width of the age and period groups.
per.zero	NULL. Not needed when data.format="AP"
per.max	NULL. Not needed when data.format="AP"
time.adjust	0. Thus age=0 in period=1960 corresponds to cohort=1960-0+0=1960, and indeed the centers of the age and period groups, that is age=2 and period=1962 translate into cohort=1962-2+0=1960.
label	character. "RH mortality Denmark" or "RH mortality Norway".
