In bayesLife: Bayesian Projection of Life Expectancy

Joint Posterior Distribution of Female and Male Life Expectancy

Description

The functions plot the joint posterior distribution of female and male life expectancy, modeled and predicted using the joint model described in Lalic (2011) and Raftery, Lalic & Gerland (2014). This can be done for one country (e0.joint.plot) or for all countries (e0.joint.plot.all).

Usage

e0.joint.plot(e0.pred, country, pi = 95, years, nr.points = 500, 
    obs.pch = 17, obs.cex=1, xlim = NULL, 
    ylim = NULL, xlab = "Female life expectancy", ylab = "Male life expectancy", 
    main = NULL, col = NULL, show.legend = TRUE, add = FALSE, ...)
    
e0.joint.plot.all(e0.pred, output.dir = file.path(getwd(), "e0joint"),
    output.type = "png", verbose = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

e0.pred	Object of class bayesLife.prediction containing female projections.
country	Name or numerical code of a country. It can also be given as ISO-2 or ISO-3 characters.
pi	Probability interval. It can be a single number or an array.
years	Array of future years for which to plot the distribution.
nr.points	Number of points shown in the plot for each year.
obs.pch, obs.cex	Graphical parameters used for displaying observed data or data without variation.
xlim, ylim, xlab, ylab, main	Graphical parameters passed to the plot function.
col	Array of colors, one for each year.
show.legend	Logical controlling whether the legend should be drawn.
add	Logical controlling whether the distribution should be plotted into a new graphic device (FALSE) or into an existing device (TRUE).
output.dir	Directory into which resulting graphs are stored.
output.type	Type of the resulting files. It can be “png”, “pdf”, “jpeg”, “bmp”, “tiff”, or “postscript”.
verbose	Logical switching log messages on and off.
...	Additional graphical parameters passed to the lines function drawing ellipses. In addition, for e0.joint.plot.all, ... contains any of the arguments of e0.joint.plot.
