Associated single decrement life table (ASDT) for causes of death (cause-deleted life table)

Usage

asdt(age, m_all, m_i, full = FALSE, method = "chiang1968", ...)

Arguments

age: Numeric array of age intervals; for full life table = 0:100; for concise life table = c(0:1, seq(5,85,5))
m_all: Numeric array with age specific mortality rates of all causes of death (usual mx).
m_i: Numeric array with age specific mortality rates of some cause of death (i)
full: Logical. Is full table needed? TRUE for full, FALSE for concise. By default, FALSE
method: Character. The method of ASDT construction to use. Now just "chiang1968" is supported.
...: Optional. Additional arguments for LT() function.

Value

If full = TRUE, a data frame with the full associated single decrement life table, including the standard life-table columns and the cause-deleted columns r_not_i, p_not_i, l_not_i, a_not_i, d_not_i, L_not_i, T_not_i, and ex_without_i. If full = FALSE, a reduced data frame with columns age, r_not_i, lx, qx, ax, ex, p_not_i, l_not_i, a_not_i, and ex_without_i.
