In a simulation, an include_*
dataset is selected that corresponds to the given wpp.year
passed to the function run.e0.mcmc
. It is merged with an e0
dataset from the corresponding wpp package using the country_code
column. Thus, the country entries in this dataset should correspond to entries in the e0F
(e0M
) dataset.
The package contains also a dataset called my_e0_template
(in extdata
directory) which is a template for user-specified e0 time series. It has the same structure as the e0
dataset, except that most of the columns are optional. The only required column is country_code
(see description of the argument my.e0.file
in run.e0.mcmc
).
