APCG_data {APCG1} | R Documentation |
Generate 4 data sets used in the APC Guide book (Fu 2018), separately by specifying the names of the data set, "lungCAmale", "lungCAfemale", "HIV", and "Retire".
APCG_data(apcdata = "Retire", header = F)
apcdata |
a character string of the name of data set to generate, "Retire", "HIV", "lungCAmale", or "lungCAfemale". |
header |
logic value, if TRUE, a header of the data set will be generated as well. |
Except for the US retirement account median value data set ("retire"), the other three data sets have 3 subsets, the rate, frequency, and population data subsets. All 3 datasets are originally generated by the SEER*Stat software of the SEER cancer registry database. The rate of 0 in cell (age=20, period=1995) of the US Lung Cancer data USlungCAfemale.r is due to the supression of small counts by the SEER*Stat.
med.value |
if apcdata="retire", provide a matrix of median retirement account value. |
rate |
if apcdata!="retire". The mortality rate per 100,000 population. |
frequency |
if apcdata!="retire". The number of deaths of specific age group in specific years. |
population |
if apcdata!="retire". The total number of people in the US of specified sex (including healthy people) of specific age group in specific years. |
A data header is provided only to the median value or rate matrix, if header = True is specified. It provides age group and year information of the data.
