detectSex

a <code>data.frame</code> containing a column called <code>Sex</code>, or codesex.

character string giving the name of the Sex column <code>&quot;Sex&quot;</code> assumed.

sexColumn

The column name can be <code>&quot;sex&quot;</code> or <code>&quot;Sex&quot;</code> and nothing else. If coded with integer, the number 1 is recognized as male and numbers, 0, 2, or 6 are assumed to be female. Any other integer will throw an error. If character, if the first letter is <code>&quot;f&quot;</code>, then we assume female, and if the first letter is <code>&quot;m&quot;</code> we assume male. Case does not matter. Anything else will throw an error. This function allows for just a little flexibility.

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.
