In rlglaubius/SpectrumUtils: Utilities for reading Spectrum files (Title Case)

Get the input life table selection

Description

Spectrum users may select a life table from a list of model life tables, or use a country-specific life table based on the latest World Population Prospects revision. This function indicates which selection the user made.

Usage

dp.inputs.life.table(dp.raw, direction = "wide")

Arguments

dp.raw	DemProj module data in raw format, as returned by read.raw.dp()
direction	Request "wide" (default) or "long" format data.

Value

The life table name as a factor

Details

dp.inputs.life.table just indicates which life table was selected. Life table indicators can be accessed separately: dp.inputs.surv returns survival ratios, and dp.inputs.e0 returns life expectancy at birth. To keep projection file sizes small, most other common life table indicators are not saved.

Supported life tables include:

1. Coale-Demeny West

2. Coale-Demeny North

3. Coale-Demeny East

4. Coale-Demeny South

5. UN General

6. UN Chile

7. UN South Asia

8. UN East Asia

9. Country-specific (usually based on the latest WPP revision)

10. Custom
