# Load simulated data as example
data(simu_data)

# Estimate remaining life expectancy and Life Years
# Lost after age 45 years and before age 95 years
lyl_estimation <- lyl(data = simu_data, t = age_death, status = cause_death,
                      age_specific = 45, tau = 95)

# Summarize and plot the data
plot(lyl_estimation)
plot(lyl_estimation, colors = c("chocolate", "cornflowerblue"))
