Calculate life expectancy table

Description

Normally this will be called internally from stoner_calculate_dalys, but for testing purposes is also exposed.

Usage

stoner_life_table(con, touchstone, year_min, year_max, char_countries = TRUE)

Arguments

con

DBI connection to a Montagu database. Used for retrieving demographic data for life expectancy.

touchstone

The touchstone (including version); the demographic data retrieved will be specific to this touchstone.

year_min

The first year of the range in which to calculate DALYs. (Default 2000)

year_max

The final year of the range in which to calculate DALYs. (Default 2100)

char_countries

A logical that if TRUE specifies that the countries in the resulting life table should be expressed in 3-character form, or otherwise numerical.

Value

A data.frame with columns value and .code. The value is the expected years of life left for a person in a particular country, a particular year, and of a particular age. The .code is in the form country-year-age, and both year and age are interpolated to single years (whereas the UNWPP life table data is mostly in 5-year bands).
