india_china_males_1990

A subset of data from The Global Burden of Disease Study 1996.

datasets

Provides an easy to use implementation of life expectancy decomposition formulas for age bands, derived from Ponnapalli, K. (2005). A comparison of different methods for decomposition of changes in expectation of life at birth and differentials in life expectancy at birth. Demographic Research, 12, pp.141–172. <doi:10.4054/demres.2005.12.7> In addition, there is a decomposition function for disease cause breakdown and a couple helpful plot functions.
