ratesC

Cohort rates of mortality by age and sex and fertility by age and parity, USA birth cohort 1964

Constructs a virtual population from fertility and mortality rates for any country,
calendar year and birth cohort in the Human Mortality Database <https://www.mortality.org> and the Human Fertility Database <https://www.humanfertility.org>. Fertility histories are simulated for every individual and their offspring, producing a multi-generation virtual population.

<li>cohort: Birth cohort (year of birth)</li>
<li>year: Calendar year for which period death rates are used to complete cohort experience in case of incomplete mortality experience (reference year).</li>
