Plot a Life Table Indicator Conversion

Source: R/plot-convertFx.R
plot.convertFx.Rd

Draws the result of convertFx in the house style: the input indicator in one panel and the converted output indicator in the other, sharing the age axis when they are stacked. Rates and probabilities (mx, qx) go on a log scale. A matrix input draws one curve per column in both panels.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'convertFx'
plot(x, split = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x

An object of class "convertFx", as returned by convertFx.

split

How to arrange the two panels: NULL (the default) puts them side by side, c(1, 2); give a length-2 integer c(nrow, ncol) to split them yourself, such as c(2, 1) to stack the output under the input on a shared age axis.

...

Further arguments; currently ignored.

Value

The object x, invisibly. Called for the plot it draws.

Examples

# convert death rates (mx) to life expectancies (ex)
x  <- 0:105
mx <- ahmd$mx[paste(x), "2010"]
ex <- convertFx(x = x, data = mx, from = "mx", to = "ex")
plot(ex)

plot(ex, split = c(2, 1))


# convert life expectancy (ex) to 1-year probability of dying (qx)
qx <- convertFx(x = x, data = ex, from = "ex", to = "qx")
plot(qx)
