prtyAverage: Average Parity Computation Function

In josehcms/fertestr: Package for Fertility and Parity Estimation

Average Parity Computation Function

Description

Average Parity Computation Function

Usage

prtyAverage(
  ages,
  parity,
  women,
  na_code = NA,
  prtyElBadry.set = FALSE,
  prtyImp.set = FALSE,
  prtyElBadry.graph = FALSE,
  prtyAssess.graph = FALSE,
  age_group = "q"
)

Arguments

ages	A vector of ages or starting ages of age group intervals
parity	A vector of parities for each age group
women	A vector of women counts by parity and age group
na_code	A numeric value representing the label for missing parities (default = NA)
prtyElBadry.set	TRUE or FALSE for correction of zeros and missing values by El-Badry method (default = FALSE)
prtyImp.set	TRUE or FALSE for correction of implausible parities (default = FALSE)
prtyElBadry.graph	TRUE of FALSE for El-Badry diagnose plot output (default = FALSE)
prtyAssess.graph	TRUE or FALSE for parity assessment plot output (default = FALSE)
age_group	Character assuming values 'q' (default) for quinquennial age group or 's' for single age group input

Value

A data.frame with 2 variables: ages and P for average parities by age group

### Kenya 1989 data:
prtyAverage( ages = data.prty_KEN$ages,
             parity = data.prty_KEN$parity,
             women = data.prty_KEN$women
)

# With El-Badry:
prtyAverage(  ages = data.prty_KEN$ages,
              parity = data.prty_KEN$parity,
              women = data.prty_KEN$women,
              prtyElBadry.set = TRUE,
              prtyElBadry.graph = TRUE )

# Correction for implausible parities
prtyAverage(  ages = data.prty_KEN$ages,
              parity = data.prty_KEN$parity,
              women = data.prty_KEN$women,
