insp.dd: Miscellaneous utility functions for demogdata type mortality data

Description

This function can extract any subset of the source data, such as the mortality (hazard) rates and population (exposure), by a given vector of ages and calendar years. Similarly, the function can output the observed number of deaths by age and calendar years, based on the source data sets included in the demogdata object.

Usage

insp.dd(data, what = c("rate", "pop", "deaths"), ages = data$age, 
		years = data$year, series = names(data$rate)[1])

Arguments

data

demogdata mortality data object

what

specifies the required type of data matrix to be extracted

ages

vector of ages to inspect in the data

years

vector of years to inspect in the data

series

target series name (e.g. 'males') or index number (e.g. 1) of the data object to be extracted

Value

Returns a subset data matrix of the source data.

Details

A subset of mortality rates and population (exposures) can be directly inspected (i.e. extracted) from the corresponding component data matrices in the source demogdata object by using this function. To inspect the observed number of deaths by age and calendar years the function calls extract.deaths without data corrections.

Examples

# inspect mortality (hazard) rates:
insp.dd(dd.cmi.pens, 'rate', age=50:80, year=1985:1990)
# inspect exposure (population) values:
insp.dd(dd.cmi.pens, 'pop', age=50:80, year=1985:1990)
# inspect 'estimated' number of deaths
insp.dd(dd.cmi.pens, 'deaths', age=50:80, year=1985:1990)
