Adds a new column called PersonYears to the dataset that was input. PersonYears represents the number of years lived at age x based on the number surviving to age x.
Arguments
- data
The mortality dataset, includes an age grouping variable,
- age
The age grouping variable, must be categorical
- pop
Population of each age group, must be numeric
- deaths
The midyear number of deaths at each age group, must be numeric
Value
Dataset that was input with the added columns: ConditionalProbDeath, ConditionalProbLife, NumberToSurvive, PropToSurvive, PersonYears.
Examples
# This function will add the ConditionalProbDeath, ConditionalProbLife,
# NumberToSurvive, PropToSurvive, and PersonYears columns to the dataset
