Plot number of persons at risk at each specific age.

Description

Given a lyl_range-class object, lyl_checkplot draws numbers of persons at risk of dying at each specific age from age_begin until age \tau.

Usage

Arguments

x

An object of class lyl_range obtained with the lyl_range function.

Examples

# Load simulated data as example
data(simu_data)

# Estimate remaining life expectancy and Life Years
# Lost after each age from 0 to 94 years and before age 95 years
lyl_estimation <- lyl_range(data = simu_data, t = age_death, status = death,
                            age_begin = 45, age_end = 50, tau = 95)

# Check whether small numbers could compromise the results
lyl_checkplot(lyl_estimation)

# The plot can be modified with a usual ggplot2 format
