transrate {relsurv} | R Documentation |
The function assists in reorganizing certain types of data into a ratetable object.
transrate(men,women,yearlim,int.length=1)
men |
a matrix containing the yearly (conditional) probabilities
of one year survival for men. Rows represent age (increasing
1 year per line,starting with 0), the columns represent cohort
years (the limits are in yearlim , the increase is in
int.length .
|
women |
a matrix containing the yearly (conditional) probabilities of one year survival for women. |
yearlim |
the first and last cohort year given in the tables. |
int.length |
the length of intervals in which cohort years are given. |
This function only applies for ratetables that are organized by age, sex and year.
An object of class ratetable
