convert.tfr.trajectories: Converting TFR Trajectories into ACSII Files

Description

Details

The function creates two files. One is called ascii_trajectories.csv, it is a comma-separated table with the following columns:

• LocID

{country code} Period{prediction interval, e.g. 2015-2020} Year{middle year of the prediction interval} Trajectory{identifier of the trajectory} TF{total fertility rate}

Examples

sim.dir <- file.path(.find.package("bayesTFR"), "ex-data", 'bayesTFR.output')
pred.dir <- file.path(getwd(), 'exampleTFRpred')

# stores 10 trajectories out of 75 (3x(50-25)) into 
# exampleTFRpred/predictions/ascii_trajectories.csv
tfr.predict(sim.dir=sim.dir, output.dir=pred.dir, 
            burnin=25, save.as.ascii=10, verbose=TRUE)
            
# stores all 75 trajectories into the current directory
convert.tfr.trajectories(dir=pred.dir, n='all', output.dir='.', verbose=TRUE)

# Note: If the output.dir argument in tfr.predict is omitted, 
# call convert.tfr.trajectories with dir=sim.dir
