inferAgeIntAbr: Infer abridged age groups widths.

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

Infer abridged age groups widths.

Description

This function is an auxiliary used by top level functions where it is guaranteed that age groups are standard abridged age groups. If Age is specified, this will work as well for other age groupings.

Usage

inferAgeIntAbr(Age, vec, OAG = FALSE, OAvalue = NA)

Arguments

Age	integer. Vector of lower bound of each age group.
vec	Any vector, presumably a count, rate, or similar.
OAG	logical. Whether or not the final age group open. Default FALSE.
OAvalue	numeric or integer. The value to use for the final age interval if OAG = TRUE. Default NA.

Details

If based solely on the length of a vector, this will give erroneous results if ages are anything other than standard abridged ages groups. If the final age group is open, the interval width is defined as NA. Inf or -1 would have also been a good choice, but we went with NA.

Value

An integer vector of length(vec) indicating the width of the abridged age group that each vector element corresponds to.

Examples

vec <- runif(20)
inferAgeIntAbr(vec = vec)
inferAgeIntAbr(vec = vec, OAG = TRUE)
inferAgeIntAbr(Age = 0:100, OAG = TRUE)
