Arguments

country
Country code (see details).
year

local
Fetch mortality data from package cached
data?
Details
Locally cached data is used in case of connection
problems, of if local = TRUE. For memory space reasons
local data is only available for WHO high-income
countries (pooled), and only for the latest year.
The results of get_who_mr are memoised for
options("heemod.memotime") (default: 1 hour) to
increase resampling performance.
