Description

Standardize Life-table By Pace

Usage

Arguments

pash	A pace-shape object.
pace	Measure of pace used for standardization (default e0).

Examples

# generate a pace-shape object
pash = Inputlx(x = prestons_lx$x, lx = prestons_lx$lx)
# standardize the life table by pace and shape
StandardizeLT(pash)
StandardizeLT(pash, pace = "qlx", q = 0.9)
