The goal of demor is to provide you with:

1. the most basic functions for demographic analysis
2. some data

Now, demor provides the ability to download Russian mortality/fertility data from Rosbris (РосБРиС) in a user-friendly format. It also includes functions for building life tables, age and cause decompositions, fitting Lee-Carter model, calculating years of life lost, and more.

You can install the development version of demor from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("vadvu/demor")

Examples of how to use demor can be found on its website in the Get started section. The detailed information about each function can be found in this section of the website.

If you have any comments on the demor (suggestions for development, bug fixes, etc.), please, feel free to contact me via email: [email protected]
