plot.paramDemoLT: Functions to plot life tables and product limit estimators

Description

Draw a plot of demographic rates from a life table produced with function CalcLifeTable or of product limit estimator produced with function CalcProductLimitEst

Usage

# S3 method for paramDemoLT
plot(x, demorate = "lx", inclCIs = FALSE, ...)
# S3 method for paramDemoPLE
plot(x, inclCIs = FALSE, ...)

Value

No return value, called for plotting objects of class “paramDemoLT”

Arguments

x: Object of class paramDemoLT or paramDemoPLE produced with functions CalcLifeTable or CalcProductLimitEst
demorate: Demographic rate to be plotted, choices are “lx” for the survival, “px” for the age-specific survival probability, “qx” for the age-specific mortality probability, and “ex” for the remaining life expectancy
inclCIs: Logical indicating whether confidence intervals should be ploted in case they were calculated with function CalcLifeTable or CalcProductLimitEst
...: Additional arguments passed to function plot

Examples

Run this code

# Simulate age at death data from Gompertz model:
ages <- SampleRandAge(n = 100, theta = c(b0 = -5, b1 = 0.1))

# Calculate life table:
lt <- CalcLifeTable(ageLast = ages, departType = rep("D", 100))

# Plot life table:
plot(lt)
