  name.sex,
  name.males,
  name.females,
  name.population.year1,
  name.population.year2,
  name.year1,

  name.day2
)

Arguments

data	data frame that contains at least seven columns representing: (1) five-year age groups, (2) sex, (3, 4) population counts collected at two different time points (typically adjacent Census years) (5, 6) dates of two different time points (7) the level of subnational disaggregation in additino to sex (e.g. a geographic unit such as a province/state, a sociodemographic category such as education level, or combinations thereof).
name.disaggregations	Character string providing the name of the variable in 'data' that represents the levels of subnational disaggregation
name.age	Character string providing the name of the variable in 'data' that represents age
name.sex	Character string providing the name of the variable in 'data' that represents sex
name.males	Character string providing the name of the value of 'name.sex' variable that represents males
name.females	Character string providing the name of the value of 'name.sex' variable that represents females
name.population.year1	Character string providing the name of the variable in 'data' that represents the population count in the earlier time period
name.population.year2	Character string providing the name of the variable in 'data' that represents the population count in the later time period
name.year1	Character string providing the name of the variable in 'data' that represents the year of the earlier of the two time periods (e.g. year of the earlier Census)
name.month1	Character string providing the name of the variable in 'data' that represents the month of the earlier of the two time periods (e.g. month of the earlier Census)
name.day1	Character string providing the name of the variable in 'data' that represents the day of the earlier of the two time periods (e.g. day of the earlier Census)
name.year2	Character string providing the name of the variable in 'data' that represents the year of the later of the two time periods (e.g. year of the later Census)
name.month2	Character string providing the name of the variable in 'data' that represents the month of the later of the two time periods (e.g. month of the later Census)
name.day2	Character string providing the name of the variable in 'data' that represents the day of the later of the two time periods (e.g. day of the later Census)
