This function estimates fbswicd object based on existing fbswicd object and using the total population data.

esti_fbswicd(obj, pop = NULL)

Arguments

obj

An object with class of fbswicd.

pop

An population dataset to override the population in obj.

Value

An estimated object with class of fbswicd.

Details

The estimation proceeds in the following steps:

  1. Calculate age-specific incidence and mortality rates for different sex and cancer sites.

  2. Derive estimated counts of fbs and sws using the rate × population formula.

  3. Recalculate proportions (e.g., mv, dco) back to estimated case counts.

  4. Join all information and return a new object of the same class as obj.
