meanpop_fi

Mean population counts in Finland year, sex, and age group.

Enables computation of epidemiological statistics where e.g.
counts or mortality rates of the reference population are used. Currently
supported: excess hazard models, rates, mean survival times, relative
survival, as well as standardized incidence and mortality ratios (SIRs/SMRs),
all of which can be easily adjusted for e.g. age.
Fast splitting and aggregation of 'Lexis' objects (from package 'Epi')
and other computations achieved using 'data.table'.
