R Documentation

make the growth-adjusted quasi life table columns required by GGB method

Description

Called by ggbChooseAges() and ggbcoverageFromYear(). This simply modulates some code that would otherwise be repeated. Users probably don't need to call this function directly.

Usage

ggbMakeColumns(
  codi,
  minA = 15,
  maxA = 75,
  nx.method = 2,
  deaths.summed = FALSE,
  mig.summed = deaths.summed
)

Arguments

`codi`	a chunk of data (single sex, year, region, etc) with all columns required by `ggb()`
`minA`	the lowest age to be included in search
`maxA`	the highest age to be included in search (the lower bound thereof)
`nx.method`	either 2 or 4. 4 is smoother.
`deaths.summed`	logical. is the deaths column given as the total per age in the intercensal period (`TRUE`). By default we assume `FALSE`, i.e. that the average annual was given.
`mig.summed`	logical. Is the (optional) net migration column `mig` given as the total per age in the intercensal period (`TRUE`). By default we assume `FALSE`, i.e. that the average annual was given.
