Lifertable (version 1.0.1)

plotSurvivalCurve: Survival curve for the Life and Fertility Table

Description

This function generates the graphical representation of the Life Table. Survival (y-axis) versus Age (x-axis)

Usage

plotSurvivalCurve(object, time = "days")

Value

Returns an object of class c("gg", "ggplot").

Arguments

object

object accepts 2 classes of objects:

• An object inheriting from lifertable(), representing the Life and Fertility Table.

• An object of class lifertableLFT inherited from lifertable(). This is the object that displays the Life and Fertility Table.

time

A string that defines the time period over which “Age” is measured ("days", "months", "years", etc). Default is "days".

Examples

## The main object will be created using the Insects database:
lft <- lifertable(ColumnFemale = Female,
                  ColumnAge = Age,
                  ColumnEggs = Eggs,
                  SexRate = Sexrate,
                  ColumnGroups = Group,
                  data = Insects)

## Possible usage scenarios

## 1. Direct Usage of the "lft" Object:
plotSurvivalCurve(lft)

## 2. Assigning the component "LIFERTABLE" to an object:
lifeTable <- lft$LIFERTABLE
plotSurvivalCurve(lifeTable)

## 3. Direct usage of the component:
plotSurvivalCurve(lft$LIFERTABLE)
