segMakeColumns

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

codi

the minimum of the age range searched. Default 15

minA

the maximum of the age range searched. Default 75

maxA

eOpen

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>segCoverageFromYear()</code>. This simply modulates some code that would otherwise be repeated. Users probably don&#39;t need to call this function directly.

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.

segMakeColumns: make the Bennett-Horiuchi quasi life table columns required by the estimation method
