age_grouper

Utilities to cost and evaluate Australian tax policy, including fast
projections of personal income tax collections, high-performance tax and
transfer calculators, and an interface to common indices from the Australian
Bureau of Statistics.  Written to support Grattan Institute's Australian
Perspectives program, and related projects. Access to the Australian Taxation
Office's sample files of personal income tax returns is assumed.

age_grouper function

<dl><dt>age</dt>
<dd>A numeric age (in years).</dd>
<dt>interval</dt>
<dd>How big should the age range be. 25-34 means interval = 10.</dd>
<dt>min_age</dt>
<dd>What is the upper bound of the lowest bracket? (<code>min_age = 25</code> means 'Under 25' will be the lowest bracket.)</dd>
<dt>max_age</dt>
<dd>What is the lower bound of the highest bracket? (<code>max_age = 75</code> means '75+' will be the bracket.)</dd>
<dt>breaks</dt>
<dd>Specify breaks manually.</dd>
<dt>labels</dt>
<dd>Specify the labels manually.</dd>
<dt>below</dt>
<dd>String giving the prefix for the lowest bin. (Only applicable
if <code>breaks</code> and <code>labels</code> are <code>NULL</code>.)</dd>
<dt>exp_min_age, exp_max_age</dt>
<dd>Integers specifying the lowest/highest expected 
age in <code>age</code>. If any values fall outside this range, ages will still work
though perhaps slow when <code>length(age) &gt;&gt; threshold</code>.</dd>
<dt>threshold</dt>
<dd>An integer, the minimum length at which the calculation will
be accelerated.</dd></dl>
