title: 'epiDeaths: Functions for Calculating Mortality Indicators'
version: 1.1.8
abstract: Provides functions for calculating mortality indicators. These include geometric
  interpolation between two periods and projections for future years, as described
  in the textbook by Laurenti, Mello Jorge, Lebrão and Gotlieb (2005, ISBN:9788512408309),
  the standardised mortality ratio (Bruce, Pope and Stanistreet, 2018, ISBN:9781118665411),
  the age-adjusted mortality rate (direct standardisation), years of potential life
  lost (Gardner and Sanborn, 1990, <https://doi.org/10.1097/00001648-199007000-00012>;
  Ma, Ward, Siegel and Jemal, 2015, <https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2015.12319>), and
  age-standardised years of potential life lost (Silva Filho et al., 2024 <https://doi.org/10.1590/1413-81232024293.04702023EN>).
  Confidence intervals for the standardised mortality ratio are obtained according
  to Vandenbroucke (1982) <https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a113306> and
  Ulm (1990) <https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a115507>. The function also
  includes a function that produces a graph similar to an age pyramid.
