ggbgetAgesFit

a chunk of data (single sex, year, region, etc) with all columns required by <code>ggb()</code>

codi

minA

the highest age to be included in search (the lower bound thereof)

maxA

the minimum number of adjacent ages to be used in estimating

minAges

logical. is the deaths column given as the total per age in the intercensal period (<code>TRUE</code>). By default we assume <code>FALSE</code>, i.e. that the average annual was given.

deaths.summed

Called by <code>ggbcoverageFromYear()</code> whenever <code>exact.ages</code> are not given. This automates what one typically does visually.

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.
