LT1-class: LT1 class for HMD life-tables 1x1

In eoR: Data Management Package (Exposure and Occurrence Data in R)

Description

The class LT1 stores HMD life table information in a systematic way.

The header-method gets the raw header information of an LT1 object

The lt1-method gets the life table information of an LT1 object

The content-method gets the life table information of an LT1 object

The region-method gets the regional information of an LT1 object

The protocol-method gets the protocol information of an LT1 object

The LTable1-constructor creates an LT1 object

The length-method gets the number of rows int the LT1 lt1 data.table

The selectYears-method gets a subset of an LT1 object

The readLT1x1-method reads all information from the file 1x1 period life table

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'LT1'
header(object)

## S4 method for signature 'LT1'
lt1(object)

## S4 method for signature 'LT1'

Arguments

object	LT1-object
header	vector
lt1	data.table
content	character
region	character
protocol	character
x	LT1-object
selectYears	vector
infile	character file name

Details

This LT1 class fits to Human Mortality Database (HMD) 1x1 period life tables. See https://www.mortality.org/ for data details. An LT1 instance stores the raw header, the content, the version protocol and regional information and the life table as a data.table object. The validation adds a pure numeric age AgeLow to the life table. Try demo(LT1) for a demonstration.

Value

The header-method returns the raw header information

The lt1-method returns the life-table

The content-method returns the content information

The region-method returns the regional information

The protocol-method returns the protocol information

The LTable1-constructor returns an LT1 object

The length-method returns the number of rows

The selectYears-method returns an LT1 object

The readLT1x1-method returns an LT1 object

Slots

Examples

o1 <- readLT1x1(file.path(system.file(package="eoR"), "extdata", "DEUTNP.fltper_1x1m.txt"))
header(o1)
