  observeStartYr = NULL, observeEndYr = NULL, discount = 0.3,
  ageWeighting = TRUE, outputFolder)

Arguments

outcomeData

outcomeData generated by Argos package.

refLifeExpectancy

reference life expectancy data to calculate YDD. The default life expectancy table is provided and can be loaded via loadLifeExpectancy function

disabilityWeight

disability weight for the certain condition of plpData to calculate YLD. if this is 0, YLD is 0. It should be float value (0~1).

outcomeDisabilityWeight

Disability weight for outcome. If the outcome is death, then disability weight should be 1. It should be float value (0~1).

minTimeAtRisk

time at risk (days). usually it should be identical to the minTAR of plpData

observeStartYr

From which year, the observation of DALY should be started?

observeEndYr

Until which year, the observation of DALY should be ended?

discount

discount value, float(0~1). default value is 0.3.

outputFolder

outputFolder

ageWeghting

logical value (TRUE or FALSE).
