ggbsegMakeColumns: make the Bennett-Horiuchi quasi life table columns required...

In albinomatheus/toolbox: Matheus' personal functions and palettes

make the Bennett-Horiuchi quasi life table columns required by the second estimation method

Description

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

Usage

ggbsegMakeColumns(
  codi,
  minA = 15,
  maxA = 75,
  agesFit.ggb,
  eOpen = NULL,
  deaths.summed = FALSE,
  mig.summed = deaths.summed,
  lm.method = "oldschool",
  nx.method = 2
)

Arguments

codi	a chunk of data (single sex, year, region, etc) with all columns required by ggbseg()
minA	the lowest age to be included in search
maxA	the highest age to be included in search (the lower bound thereof)
agesFit.ggb	vector of ages for calculating coverage in the GGB method.
eOpen	optional. A user-specified value for remaining life-expectancy in the open age group.
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.
lm.method	character, one of: "oldschool" default sd ratio operation of still unknown origin "lm" or "ols" for a simple linear model "tls", "orthogonal", or "deming" for total least squares "tukey", "resistant", or ""median" for Tukey's resistant line method
nx.method	integer. either 2 or 4. 4 is smoother.

Details

agesFit is a vector passed in from ggbsegMakeColumns(), and it was either estimated using the GGB automatic method there, or simply came from the argument exact.ages specified in ggbseg(). By default we just automatically estimate these. eOpen can be either user-specified, or it will be estimated automatically using eOpenCD().

Value

codi, with many columns added, most importantly $Cx.
