Creates a death table from a population data frame.
For each i=1..N-1 and j=1..M, the number of individuals with age at last birthday in [ages[i],ages[i+1]) and died in [times[j],times[j+1]) is computed.
Usage
death_table(population, ages, period)
Arguments
population
Population data frame containing at least 'birth' and 'death' columns.
ages
A vector of size N composed of age groups.
The function computes the number of death in each age group [ages[i],ages[i+1]), for i=1..N-1.
period
A vector of size M composed of time intervals.
Value
A death table matrix.
Details
The function computes the number of death in each time interval [times[j],times[j+1]), j=1..M.
