aus_mortality contains weekly data with two measured variables:
Deaths: | Death count |
Mortality: | Mortality rate |
from 2015 week 01 to 2023 week 12 for five different age groups plus the
total, categorised by sex.
Each series is uniquely identified using three keys:
Sex: | Sex of the individual: Male, Female, or Both |
Age: | Age group of the individual |
The mortality rate is defined as the number of deaths per thousand people in
Australia in each week.
