Converts a set of age values from the specified time unit to years.
Usage
compute_age_years(age, age_unit)
Value
The ages contained in age converted to years.
Arguments
age
The ages to convert.
A numeric vector is expected.
age_unit
Age unit.
Either a string containing the time unit of all ages in age or a character
vector containing the time units of each age in age is expected. Note that
permitted values are cases insensitive (e.g. "YEARS" is treated the same
as "years" and "Years").
Returns a numeric vector of ages in years as doubles. Note
that passing NA_character_ as a unit will result in an NA value for the outputted
age. Also note, underlying computations assume an equal number of days in each
year (365.25).
