check_heaping_jdanov: Calculate Jdanov's old-age heaping index

In timriffe/DemoTools: Standardize, Evaluate, and Adjust Demographic Data

Calculate Jdanov's old-age heaping index

Description

This is a slightly more flexible implementation of Jdanov's formula, with defaults set to match his parameters. The numerator is the sum of (death counts) in ages 95, 100, and 105. The denominator consists in the sum of the 5-year age groups centered around each of the numerator ages. It probably only makes sense to use this with the default values, however. Used with a single age in the numerator, it is almost the same as Noumbissi(), except here we pick out particular ages, whereas Noumbissi picks out terminal digits.

Usage

check_heaping_jdanov(Value, Age, Agei = seq(95, 105, by = 5))

Arguments

Value	numeric. A vector of demographic counts by single age.
Age	integer. A vector of ages corresponding to the lower integer bound of the counts.
Agei	integer. A vector of ages to put in the numerator, default c(95,100,105).

Value

The value of the index.
