age: Applies a survival rate to numeric new vehicles

ageR Documentation

Applies a survival rate to numeric new vehicles

Description

age returns survived vehicles

Usage

age(x, type = "weibull", a = 14.46, b = 4.79, agemax, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

x

Numeric; numerical vector of sales or registrations for each year

type

Character; any of "gompertz", "double_logistic", "weibull" and "weibull2"

a

Numeric; parameter of survival equation

b

Numeric; parameter of survival equation

agemax

Integer; age of oldest vehicles for that category

verbose

Logical; message with average age and total numer of vehicles regions or streets.

Value

dataframe of age distrubution of vehicles

Note

The functions age* produce distribution of the circulating fleet by age of use. The order of using these functions is:

1. If you know the distribution of the vehicles by age of use , use: my_age 2. If you know the sales of vehicles, or the registry of new vehicles, use age to apply a survival function. 3. If you know the theoretical shape of the circulating fleet and you can use age_ldv, age_hdv or age_moto. For instance, you dont know the sales or registry of vehicles, but somehow you know the shape of this curve. 4. You can use/merge/transform/dapt any of these functions.
