summary.elect: Summarises the estimation of the life expectancies

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

Description

Summary of estimated state-specific and marginal life expectancies

Usage

## S3 method for class 'elect'
summary(object, probs = c(0.025, 0.5, 0.975),
               digits = 3, StartStateTotals = FALSE,
               print = TRUE, sd.model = FALSE,...)

Arguments

object	Life expectancies estimated by elect
probs	Numeric vector of probabilities with values in [0,1] for quantiles
digits	Number of decimal places in output
StartStateTotals	TRUE for output on start-state totals e_r. (for S>0)
print	TRUE for printing output to screen, FALSE otherwise
sd.model	TRUE for printing a summary of the fitted model for the prevalence
...	Other arguments (not yet implemented)

Details

A summary for the state-specific and marginal life expectancies as derived in elect. Quantiles are derived from simulation based on the maximum likelihood estimation.
