Creates a death table from a population object.
For each i=1..N-1
and j=1..M
, the number of individuals with age at last birthday in [ages[i],ages[i+1])
and died in [times[j],times[j+1])
is computed.
death_table(pop, ages, period)
Object of class population
.
A vector of size N
composed of age groups.
A vector of size M
composed of time intervals.
A death table matrix.
The function computes the number of death in each time interval [times[j],times[j+1])
, j=1..M
.
dth_table <- death_table(population(EW_pop_out), 0:101, 0:11)
