In robjhyndman/indmortality: Indigenous mortality for Australia

Description

life.expectancy.mean calculates life expectancies and life.expectancy.ci computes confidence intervals for life expectancies. The functions take the output from make.demogdata and returns life expectancy results for both sexes and all years for the specified ages.

Usage

life.expectancy.mean(object, ages = c(0, 20, 45, 65))

life.expectancy.ci(object, ages = c(0, 20, 45, 65), nsim = 250,
  level = 95, smooth = FALSE, sigma = 0.0295)

Arguments

object	Output from make.demogdata.
ages	Ages for which life expectancy is required.
nsim	Number of simulations to use in the calculation.
level	Confidence level for the intervals.
smooth	If TRUE, smoothing will be used before computing life expectancies.
sigma	Value of sigma used in PES estimate for simulations.

Value

An array containing life expectancies for each year, age, and sex contained in object.
