R Documentation

Adjust ages under 10 using a modification of Beers

Description

Assuming we have an external estimate of age 0, this method refits to the ordinary Beers single age results, remaining constrained to the original 5-year age groups and smoothly blending into ages greater than 10.

Usage

graduate_beers_johnson(Age0, pop5, pop1)

Arguments

`Age0`	numeric. An estimate of age 0.
`pop5`	numeric. Matrix of age-period population counts in 5-year age groups.
`pop1`	numeric. Matrix of age-period population using Beers ordinary (or some other) method.

Details

This has not been tested using pop1 as generated from other methods, such as the Beers modified, Sprague, or Grabill methods. Called internally by beers().
