HFDparse

called by <code>readHFD()</code> and <code>readHFDweb()</code>. We assume there are no factors in the given data.frame and that it has been read in from the raw text files using something like: <code> read.table(file = filepath, header = TRUE, skip = 2, na.strings = ".", as.is = TRUE)</code>. This function is visible to users, but is not likely needed directly.

Utilities for reading data from the Human Mortality Database (<https://www.mortality.org>), Human Fertility Database (<https://www.humanfertility.org>), and similar databases from the web or locally into an R session as data.frame objects. These are the two most widely used sources of demographic data to study basic demographic change, trends, and develop new demographic methods. Other supported databases at this time include the Human Fertility Collection (<https://www.fertilitydata.org>), The Japanese Mortality Database (<https://www.ipss.go.jp/p-toukei/JMD/index-en.html>), and the Canadian Human Mortality Database (<http://www.bdlc.umontreal.ca/chmd/>). Arguments and data are standardized.
