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

Extract Lx estimates from WPP2019. Mainly an util function for other ones.

Description

We extract Lx from wpp2019, interpolated to exact dates. Different methods available. A vector of countries can handle, but with an unique sex. Row names are not indicative of countries.

Usage

downloadnLx(nLx, location, gender, nLxDatesIn, method = "linear")

Arguments

nLx	numeric. either NULL or a numeric vector of lifetable exposure. If it's the second then we just pass it back.
location	vector. UN Pop Div LocName or LocID
gender	character. "male", "female", or "both"
nLxDatesIn	numeric. Vector of three decimal dates produced by (or passed through) basepop_five()
method	character. Could be "linear", "exponential", or "power"

Value

numeric matrix of nLx with length(nLxDatesIn) and abridged ages in rows.

Examples

# life expectancy calculated from Lx downloaded from WPP19. Using names or codes.
Lxs_name <- downloadnLx(nLx=NULL, location = "Argentina",
                        gender = "both", nLxDatesIn = 1950:2030)
Lxs_code <- downloadnLx(nLx=NULL, location = "32",
                        gender = "both", nLxDatesIn = 1950:2030)
## Not run: 
plot(1950:2030, as.numeric(colSums(Lxs_name)), xlab = "Year", ylab="e0")
lines(1950:2030, as.numeric(colSums(Lxs_code)))

## End(Not run)
# life expectancy for different countries
Lxs_countries <- downloadnLx(nLx=NULL, location = c("Argentina","Brazil","Uruguay"),
gender = "both", nLxDatesIn = 1950:2025)
## Not run: 
plot(1950:2025, as.numeric(colSums(Lxs_countries[1:22,])), 
     t="l", xlab = "Year", ylab="e0", ylim = c(40,80))
lines(1950:2025, as.numeric(colSums(Lxs_countries[23:44,])), col=2)
lines(1950:2025, as.numeric(colSums(Lxs_countries[45:64,])), col=3)
legend("bottomright",c("Argentina","Brazil","Uruguay"),lty=1,col=1:3)

## End(Not run)
