MortalitySmooth-package: Smoothing Poisson counts with P-splines
Description
Smoothing one- and two-dimensional Poisson counts with P-splines
specifically tailored to mortality data. Extra-Poisson variation can
be accounted as well as mortality forecasting. Collection of mortality
data and a specific function for selecting those data by country, sex,
age and years.Details
