avgDeaths

the standard object as described in e.g. <code>ggb()</code>.

codi

logical. If <code>TRUE</code> then <code>deaths</code> was specified as the sum over the intercensal period. Otherwise it was the mean.

deaths.summed

ideally <code>deaths</code> is the average annual deaths in the intercensal period, but it is also common to give it as the sum. If this was the case, set <code>deaths.summed</code> to <code>TRUE</code> and we take care of it.

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.

avgDeaths: if necessary divide deaths by intercensal interval
