Normally this will be called internally from
stoner_calculate_dalys, but for testing purposes is also exposed.
stoner_life_table(con, touchstone, year_min, year_max, char_countries = TRUE)DBI connection to a Montagu database. Used for retrieving demographic data for life expectancy.
The touchstone (including version); the demographic data retrieved will be specific to this touchstone.
The first year of the range in which to calculate DALYs. (Default 2000)
The final year of the range in which to calculate DALYs. (Default 2100)
A logical that if TRUE specifies that the countries in the resulting life table should be expressed in 3-character form, or otherwise numerical.
A data.frame with columns value and .code. The value is the
expected years of life left for a person in a particular country, a
particular year, and of a particular age. The .code is in the form
country-year-age, and both year and age are interpolated to
single years (whereas the UNWPP life table data is mostly in 5-year bands).
