plotMortalityTables: Plot multiple mortality tables (life tables) in one plot

In kainhofer/r-mortality-tables: A Framework for Various Types of Mortality / Life Tables

Description

plotMortalityTables prints multiple life tables (objects of child classes of mortalityTable) in one log-linear plot, with a legend showing the names of the tables.

Usage

plotMortalityTables(
  data,
  ...,
  aes = NULL,
  ages = NULL,
  legend.title = "Sterbetafel",
  xlim = NULL,
  ylim = NULL,
  xlab = NULL,
  ylab = NULL,
  title = "",
  legend.position = c(0.9, 0.1),
  legend.justification = c(1, 0),
  legend.key.width = unit(25, "mm"),
  log = TRUE
)

Arguments

data	First life table to be plotted. Either a data.frame generated by makeQxDataFrame or a mortalityTable object
...	Additional life tables to be plotted (if data is a mortalityTable object)
aes	Optional aesthetics to append or override the default. The default aesthetics will always be applied first and provide defaults for x, y and color. This argument can be used to override the defaults or append other aesthetics.
ages	Plot only the given ages
legend.title	Title of the legend (NULL to hide)
xlim	X-axis limitatation (as a two-element vector)
ylim	Y-axis limitatation (as a two-element vector)
xlab	X-axis label (default: "Alter")
ylab	Y-axis label (default: "Sterbewahrscheinlichkeit q_x relativ zu ....")
title	The plot title
legend.position	The position of the legend (default is c(0.9,0.1))
legend.justification	The justification of the legend (default is c(1,))
legend.key.width	The keywith of the lines in the legend (default is unit(25,"mm"))
log	Display y axes in logarithmic scale (default: TRUE)

Examples

# Load the Austrian census data
mortalityTables.load("Austria_Annuities")
mortalityTables.load("Austria_Census")

# Plot some select census tables in a log-linear plot (plot called
# with mortalityTable objects is equla to calling plotMortalitytTables directly)
plot(mort.AT.census.1869.male, mort.AT.census.1869.female,
     mort.AT.census.1971.male, mort.AT.census.1971.female,
     mort.AT.census.2011.male, mort.AT.census.2011.female,
     title="Austrian census tables",
     ylab=expression(q[x]), xlab="Age",
     xlim=c(0,90),
     legend.position=c(0.95,0.05))

# To compare period or cohort life tables, use the YOB and Period arguments:
plot(AVOe2005R.male, AVOe2005R.female, AVOe1996R.male, AVOe1996R.female,
    Period = 2018, title = "Austrian Annuity Tables, Period 2018")
plot(AVOe2005R.male, AVOe2005R.female, AVOe1996R.male, AVOe1996R.female,
    YOB = 2000, title = "Austrian Annuity Tables for cohort YOB=2000")
