LT1-class: LT1 class for HMD life-tables 1x1

Description

The class LT1 stores HMD life table information in a systematic way.

The header-method gets the raw header information of an LT1 object

The lt1-method gets the life table information of an LT1 object

The content-method gets the life table information of an LT1 object

The region-method gets the regional information of an LT1 object

The protocol-method gets the protocol information of an LT1 object

The LTable1-constructor creates an LT1 object

The length-method gets the number of rows int the LT1 lt1 data.table

The selectYears-method gets a subset of an LT1 object

The readLT1x1-method reads all information from the file 1x1 period life table

Value

The header-method returns the raw header information

The lt1-method returns the life-table

The content-method returns the content information

The region-method returns the regional information

The protocol-method returns the protocol information

The LTable1-constructor returns an LT1 object

The length-method returns the number of rows

The selectYears-method returns an LT1 object

Slots

content

describes the content

region

regional entity

header

includes the raw header information

lt1

stores the life table (data.table)

protocol

contains the protocol information

Details

This LT1 class fits to Human Mortality Database (HMD) 1x1 period life tables. See https://www.mortality.org/ for data details. An LT1 instance stores the raw header, the content, the version protocol and regional information and the life table as a data.table object. The validation adds a pure numeric age AgeLow to the life table. Try demo(LT1) for a demonstration.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
o1 <- readLT1x1(file.path(system.file(package="eoR"), "extdata", "DEUTNP.fltper_1x1m.txt"))
header(o1)
lt1(o1)[, table(Year)]
# }
