generate.bage_ssvd: Generate Random Age or Age-Sex Profiles

In bage: Bayesian Estimation and Forecasting of Age-Specific Rates

Generate Random Age or Age-Sex Profiles

Description

Generate random age or age-sex profiles from an object of class "bage_ssvd". An object of class "bage_ssvd" holds results from an SVD decomposition of demographic data.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'bage_ssvd'
generate(x, n_draw = 20, n_comp = NULL, indep = NULL, age_labels = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x	An object of class "bage_ssvd".
n_draw	Number of random draws to generate.
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.
...	Unused. Included for generic consistency only.

Value

A tibble

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

• components() Components used by SVD prior.

• SVD() SVD prior for term 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

## SVD for females and males combined
generate(HMD)

## separate SVDs for females and males
generate(HMD, indep = TRUE) 

## specify age groups
labels <- poputils::age_labels(type = "lt", max = 60)
generate(HMD, age_labels = labels)
