EDagger: Total Life Expectancy Lost

In jschoeley/lifequal: Calculate Lifespan Equality from Life-tables

Description

Life expectancy lost due to death.

Usage

EDagger(dx, exdagger, radix = 1)

Arguments

dx	age distribution of deaths
exdagger	life expectancy lost at age x
radix	initial lifetable population (dx scaling factor)

Examples

# total life expectancy lost for a 1x1 lifetable of Swedish females
swe <- subset(sweden1x1, period == 1757 & sex == "female")
exdagger <- ExDagger(x = swe$x, ex = swe$ex)
EDagger(dx = swe$dx, exdagger = exdagger, radix = 100000)

# total life expectancy lost for a 5x5 lifetable of Swedish females
swe <- subset(sweden5x5, period == "1755-1759" & sex == "female")
exdagger <- ExDagger(x = swe$x, ex = swe$ex, ax = swe$ax)
EDagger(dx = swe$dx, exdagger = exdagger, radix = 100000)
