stdpop18

World, European, and Nordic standard populations by 18 age categories. 
Sums to 100000.

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'.
