graduate_beers_expand: Create the Beers ordinary or modified coefficient matrix

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

Create the Beers ordinary or modified coefficient matrix

Description

The resulting coefficient matrix is based on the number of rows in Value which must be in 5-year age groups (not abridged). The final row may be an open or closed age group, as indicated by the OAG argument.

Usage

graduate_beers_expand(Value, OAG = FALSE, method = "Mod")

Arguments

Value	numeric vector, presumably counts in grouped ages
OAG	logical, default = TRUE is the final age group open?
method	character. Valid values are "mod" or "ord". Default "mod".

Details

The Value vector is a placeholder in this case. This function is a utility called by the Beers family of functions, where it is most convenient to just pass in the same matrix being used in those calculations to determine the layout of the coefficient matrix.
