exposure_table {IBMPopSim}R Documentation

Creates an exposure table.

Description

Returns the Central Exposure-to-Risk for given ages groups and time period. The central Exposure-to-risk is computed as the sum of the time spent by individuals in a given age group over a given period, where age is the age at last birthday.

Usage

exposure_table(population, ages, period)

Arguments

population

Population data frame containing at least 'birth' and 'death' columns.

ages

A vector of size N composed of age groups. The function computes the number of death in each age group [ages[i],ages[i+1]), for i=1..N-1.

period

A vector of size M composed of time intervals.

Details

The function computes the central exposure-to-risk in each time interval [t[j],t[j+1]), j=1..M, and age groups.

Value

An exposure matrix

Examples

ex_table <- exposure_table(EW_pop_out,0:101,0:2)
