In elect: Estimation of Life Expectancies Using Multi-State Models

Description

Data statistics that are important for fitting an age-dependent multi-state model. Basic summaries and additional information on the age distribution in the data

Usage

explore(data = NULL, id = NULL, state = NULL, age = NULL,
        digits = 3, HIST = TRUE, hist.col = c("green","red",
        "blue"), INFO = FALSE)

Arguments

data	Data frame with variables id, state, and age
id	Identifier. Specify if data is not provided
state	State variable. Specify if data is not provided
age	Age or transformed age. Specify if data is not provided
digits	Number of digits in the output
HIST	TRUE for histograms of the age distribution. FALSE otherwise
hist.col	Colours for the three histograms of the age distribution
INFO	TRUE for returning a list which links id with time intervals between the subsequent records. FALSE otherwise

Value

intervals

Data frame with variables interval.length and corresponding id (when INFO = TRUE)
