insp.dd: Miscellaneous utility functions for 'demogdata' type...

In ilc: Lee-Carter Mortality Models using Iterative Fitting Algorithms

Description

This function can extract any subset of the source data, such as the mortality (hazard) rates and population (exposure), by a given vector of ages and calendar years. Similarly, the function can output the observed number of deaths by age and calendar years, based on the source data sets included in the demogdata object.

Usage

insp.dd(data, what = c("rate", "pop", "deaths"), ages = data$age, 
		years = data$year, series = names(data$rate)[1])

Arguments

data	demogdata mortality data object
what	specifies the required type of data matrix to be extracted
ages	vector of ages to inspect in the data
years	vector of years to inspect in the data
series	target series name (e.g. 'males') or index number (e.g. 1) of the data object to be extracted

Details

A subset of mortality rates and population (exposures) can be directly inspected (i.e. extracted) from the corresponding component data matrices in the source demogdata object by using this function. To inspect the observed number of deaths by age and calendar years the function calls extract.deaths without data corrections.

Value

Returns a subset data matrix of the source data.

Examples

# inspect mortality (hazard) rates:
insp.dd(dd.cmi.pens, 'rate', age=50:80, year=1985:1990)
# inspect exposure (population) values:
insp.dd(dd.cmi.pens, 'pop', age=50:80, year=1985:1990)
# inspect 'estimated' number of deaths
insp.dd(dd.cmi.pens, 'deaths', age=50:80, year=1985:1990)
