check_heaping_noumbissi: calculate Noumbissi's digit heaping index

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

calculate Noumbissi's digit heaping index

Description

Noumbissi's method improves on Whipple's method by extending its basic principle to all ten digits. It compares single terminal digit numerators to denominators consisting in 5-year age groups centered on the terminal digit of age in question. For example, 9, 19, 29, etc are all of digit 9.

Usage

check_heaping_noumbissi(
  Value,
  Age,
  ageMin = 20 + digit,
  ageMax = ageMin + 30,
  digit = 0
)

Arguments

Value	numeric. A vector of demographic counts by single age.
Age	numeric. A vector of ages corresponding to the lower integer bound of the counts.
ageMin	lower age used for estimation (inclusive). Default 20
ageMax	upper bound used for estimation (inclusive). Default 50
digit	integer. Any digit between 0 and 9. Default c(0,5). Otherwise it needs to be a single digit.

Details

ageMin and ageMax are applied to numerator ages, not denominators. Denominators are always 5-year age groups centered on the digit in question, and these therefore stretch into ages a bit higher or lower than the numerator ages. ageMax is an inclusive upper bound, treated as interval. If you want ages 20 to 64, then give ageMin = 20 and ageMax = 64, not 65.

Value

The value of the index.

Examples

Age <- 0:99
check_heaping_noumbissi(pop1m_pasex, Age, digit = 0) # 2.32
check_heaping_noumbissi(pop1m_pasex, Age, digit = 1) # 0.55
check_heaping_noumbissi(pop1m_pasex, Age, digit = 2) # 0.73
check_heaping_noumbissi(pop1m_pasex, Age, digit = 3) # 0.76
check_heaping_noumbissi(pop1m_pasex, Age, digit = 4) # 0.49
check_heaping_noumbissi(pop1m_pasex, Age, digit = 5) # 2.08
check_heaping_noumbissi(pop1m_pasex, Age, digit = 6) # 0.66
check_heaping_noumbissi(pop1m_pasex, Age, digit = 7) # 1.08  7 looks good!
check_heaping_noumbissi(pop1m_pasex, Age, digit = 8) # 0.57
check_heaping_noumbissi(pop1m_pasex, Age, digit = 9) # 0.59
