dg_table

Creates a small table of Das Gupta standardised rates. If no populations are specified, rates will be shown for all available populations. If only two populations (or if two particular populations are specified), then rate-differences and 'decomposition effects' are calculated and presented.

Implementation of Das Gupta's standardisation and decomposition of population rates, as set out "Standardization and decomposition of rates: A user’s manual", Das Gupta (1993) <https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/1993/demographics/p23-186.pdf>. The goal of these methods is to calculate adjusted rates based on compositional 'factors' and quantify the contribution of each factor to the difference in crude rates between populations. The package offers functionality to handle various scenarios for any number of factors and populations, where said factors can be comprised of vectors across sub-populations (including cross-classified population breakdowns), and with the option to specify user-defined rate functions.
