rcFDM: Datasets on Inflow and Outflow Migration Schedules for FDM Method
Description
Age-specific schedules of the inflow and outflow migration distribution used as input for the FDM method. rc1FDM corresponds to 1-year ages, while rc5FDM corresponds to 5-year age groups.
Usage
data(rc1FDM)
data(rc5FDM)
Arguments
Format
A data frame where countries and ages are rows. It has four columns:
Either single ages from 0 to 100 (rc1FDM) or 5-year age groups, such as “0-4”, “5-9”, ..., “100+” (rc5FDM).
Details
These datasets are used as the default datasets in pop.predict if mig.age.method is either “fdmp” or “fdmnop” and the inputs item “mig.fdm” is not given. Other default parameters of the FDM method are read from the vwBaseYear dataset.
