Extract Components used by SVD Summary

Description

Extract the matrix and offset used by a scaled SVD summary of a demographic database.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'bage_ssvd'
components(object, n_comp = NULL, indep = NULL, age_labels = NULL, ...)

Arguments

object	An object of class "bage_ssvd".
n_comp	The number of components. The default is half the total number of components of object.
indep	Whether to use independent or joint SVDs for each sex/gender. If no value is supplied, an SVD with no sex/gender dimension is used. Note that the default is different from SVD().
age_labels	Age labels for the desired age or age-sex profile. If no labels are supplied, the most detailed profile available is used.
...	Not currently used.

Value

A tibble with the offset and components.

Scaled SVDs of demographic databases in bage

• HMD Mortality rates from the Human Mortality Database.

• HFD Fertility rates from the Human Fertility Database.

• LFP Labor forcce participation rates from the OECD.

See Also

• generate() Randomly generate age-profiles, or age-sex profiles, based on a scaled SVD summary.

• SVD() SVD prior for terms involving age.

• SVD_AR1(), SVD_AR(), SVD_RW(), SVD_RW2() Dynamic SVD priors for terms involving age and time.

• poputils::age_labels() Generate age labels.

Examples

## females and males combined
components(LFP, n_comp = 3)

## females and males modelled independently
components(LFP, indep = TRUE, n_comp = 3)

## joint model for females and males
components(LFP, indep = FALSE, n_comp = 3)

## specify age groups
labels <- poputils::age_labels(type = "five", min = 15, max = 60)
components(LFP, age_labels = labels)
