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.

Usage

death_table(pop, ages, period)

Arguments

pop

Object of class population.

ages

A vector of size N composed of age groups.

period

A vector of size M composed of time intervals.

Value

A death table matrix.

Details

The function computes the number of death in each time interval [times[j],times[j+1]), j=1..M.

Examples

dth_table <-  death_table(population(EW_pop_out), 0:101, 0:11)
