`id`	Identifier. Specify if `data` is not provided
`state`	State variable. Specify if `data` is not provided
`age`	Age or transformed age. Specify if `data` is not provided
`digits`	Number of digits in the output
`HIST`	TRUE for histograms of the age distribution. FALSE otherwise
`hist.col`	Colours for the three histograms of the age distribution
