KeyfzEntro: Keyfitz's Entropy

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

Description

A measure for the lifespan equality in a population.

Usage

KeyfzEntro(edagger, e0)

Arguments

edagger	total life expectancy lost due to death
e0	life expectancy at birth

Examples

# lifespan equality for a 1x1 lifetable of Swedish females
swe      <- subset(sweden1x1, period == 1757 & sex == "female")
exdagger <- ExDagger(x = swe$x, ex = swe$ex)
edagger  <- EDagger(dx = swe$dx, exdagger = exdagger, radix = 100000)
KeyfzEntro(edagger = edagger, e0 = swe$ex[1])

# lifespan equality 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$ax)
edagger  <- EDagger(dx = swe$dx, exdagger = exdagger, radix = 100000)
KeyfzEntro(edagger = edagger, e0 = swe$ex[1])
