fakeDates

a <code>data.frame</code> with at least columns <code>year1</code> and <code>year2</code>.

We still require two year columns, <code>year1</code> and <code>year2</code>, at a minimum. If this function is called, and if month and day columns are missing we add these columns, with values of 1. If date columns are given, then these must be either in an unambiguous character format (<code>&quot;YYYY-MM-DD&quot;</code>, e.g. <code>&quot;2016-05-30&quot;</code> is unambiguous). Date columns will override the presence of other year, month, day columns.

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.

fakeDates: assume Jan 1 if no month or day given
