Calculate grouped mortality rates

Description

Calculate grouped mortality rates

Usage

taxa_mortalidade(
  dados,
  obitos,
  populacao,
  grupo = NULL,
  multiplicador = 1e+05,
  confianca = NULL,
  na_rm = FALSE,
  zero_denominador = c("na", "erro")
)

Arguments

`dados`	A non-empty data frame.
`obitos`	Name of the deaths column.
`populacao`	Name of the population denominator column.
`grupo`	Optional character vector naming grouping columns.
`multiplicador`	Positive rate scale, default 100,000.
`confianca`	Optional confidence level. Exact intervals are available for rates, proportions and case fatality, but not for ratios.
`na_rm`	Whether rows with a missing numerator or denominator should be removed pairwise within each group. A group containing no complete row remains missing.
`zero_denominador`	How to handle zero denominators: '"na"' returns 'NA', while '"erro"' stops.

Value

A data frame with aggregated counts and 'taxa_mortalidade'.

Examples

dados <- data.frame(ano = c(2024, 2024), obitos = c(3, 7),
                    populacao = c(5000, 5000))
taxa_mortalidade(dados, "obitos", "populacao", grupo = "ano")
