assignNoteCode

the HMD data object that presumably has three <code>NoteCode</code> columns

character string to assign to the column, typically the name of the function operating on <code>X</code>.

One property of the LexisDB scripts that might be useful for downstream checks is the ability to trace which functions have modified a given data object. These can go into NoteCode slots. This function writes <code>code</code> to the first unoccupied <code>NoteCode</code> column. If all three <code>NoteCode</code> columns are occupied, it concatenates the end of the third column. This way we preserve a full history. Unfortunately it gets split between columns. Oh well. Good for eyeballing. This function written for the sake of modularity. Function copied from Human Mortality Database collection directly as-is.

A set of three two-census methods to the estimate the degree of death registration coverage for a population. Implemented methods include the Generalized Growth Balance method (GGB), the Synthetic Extinct Generation method (SEG), and a hybrid of the two, GGB-SEG. Each method offers automatic estimation, but users may also specify exact parameters or use a graphical interface to guess parameters in the traditional way if desired.
