maple_fit_ensemble: Fit an ensemble of models.

In vkontis/maple: Model averaged projections of life expectancy

Description

Fit an ensemble of models.

Usage

maple_fit_ensemble(deaths, population, forecast.horizon,
  models = maple_models(), num.draws = 1000, ax = NULL,
  num.threads = inla.getOption("num.threads"), verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

deaths	Deaths matrix; see ?maple for more details.
population	Population matrix; see ?maple for more details.
forecast.horizon	The number of years to produce projections for.
models	The individual models to be run; see ?maple_models for more details.
num.draws	The number of posterior draws to sample and use for calculating statistical summaries.
ax	The number of years lived on average by those who die in their current age group. See ?maple_plt for more details.
num.threads	The number of threads passed to INLA; see ?maple for more details.
verbose	If TRUE (the default), print some information on progress fitting models, etc.

Value

A list with the following entries

sample.summaries

A data frame holding statistical summary information for age-specific death rates, life expectancy and probability of dying, calculated from the posterior draws.

samples

A list of life table draws, calculated using posterior samples of death rates.

model.fits

The fitted model objects, which can be used for futher analysis.

Examples

fits <- maple_fit_ensemble(deaths = maple.deaths, population = maple.population,
                           forecast.horizon = 20, models = maple_models()[c(1, 20)])
