ageutils 0.0.5

• Adds new functions reaggregate_counts() and reaggregate_rates() which provide a simplified API for reaggregation compared to reaggregate_interval_counts() and reaggregate_interval_rates(). These use an elegant approach to reaggregation suggested by @BlackEdder.

• Deprecates (with warning of class “deprecatedWarning”) the following functions:

  • aggregate_age_counts()
  • reaggregate_interval_counts()
  • reaggregate_interval_rates
  • split_interval_counts()

  The use of these could be a little confusing and it was hard to achieve consistency with their APIs. reaggregate_counts() and reaggregate_rates() can be used to replicate most of the old functionality.

ageutils 0.0.4

CRAN release: 2024-06-26

• Fixes an error in reaggregate_interval_rates() which caused the first entry of the output to be incorrect when the breaks were not specified from 0. Thanks to @BlackEdder for the report.

ageutils 0.0.3

CRAN release: 2024-05-30

• Internal changes only.

ageutils 0.0.2

CRAN release: 2024-03-06

• aggregate_age_counts() will now only return a row corresponding to NA ages if they were present in the input data. Previously an NA-associated row would always be returned even if it’s count was 0. Due to this change reaggregate_interval_counts() will now never return an NA-associated row.

• split_interval_counts() now matches the documentation and disallows missing (NA) bounds.

• breaks_to_interval() and cut_ages() both gain an argument, max_upper which allows users to explicitly set the maximum upper bound.

• New function reaggregate_interval_rates().

• For the vignette we now use markdown as a lighter alternative to rmarkdown.

ageutils 0.0.1

CRAN release: 2023-01-09

Initial release of ageutils which provides a collection of efficient functions for working with individual ages and corresponding intervals. These include functions for efficient conversion from an age to an interval, aggregation of ages with associated counts in to intervals and the splitting of interval counts based on specified age distributions.

Functions are derived from those in the ympes with the intention being to remove these functions from that package in favour of this one going forward.
