ggbsegMakeColumns {DDM}

make the Bennett-Horiuchi quasi life table columns required by the second estimation method

Description

Called by ggbsegCoverageFromYear(). This simply modulates some code that would otherwise be repeated. Users probably don't need to call this function directly.

Usage

ggbsegMakeColumns(codi, minA = 15, maxA = 75, agesFit, eOpen = NULL,
  deaths.summed = FALSE)

Arguments

codi

a chunk of data (single sex, year, region, etc) with all columns required by ggbseg()

minA

the minimum of the age range searched. Default 15

maxA

the maximum of the age range searched. Default 75

agesFit

vector of ages as passed in by ggbsegCoverageFromYear)

eOpen

optional. A value for remaining life expectancy in the open age group.

deaths.summed

logical. is the deaths column given as the total per age in the intercensal period (TRUE). By default we assume FALSE, i.e. that the average annual was given.

Details

agesFit is a vector passed in from ggbsegMakeColumns(), and it was either estimated using the GGB automatic method there, or simply came from the argument exact.ages specified in ggbseg(). By default we just automatically estimate these. eOpen can be either user-specified, or it will be estimated automatically using eOpenCD().

Value

codi, with many columns added, most importantly $Cx.
