#demography

The R package demography provides functions for demographic analysis including: lifetable calculations; Lee-Carter modelling; functional data analysis of mortality rates, fertility rates, net migration numbers; and stochastic population forecasting.

Installation

You can install the stable version on R CRAN.

install.packages('demography', dependencies = TRUE)

You can also install the development version from Github
