A class for modelling cohorts.
Usage
FLCohort(object, ...)
# S4 method for FLQuant
FLCohort(object, ...)
# S4 method for FLCohort
FLCohort(object, units = units(object))
# S4 method for array
FLCohort(
object,
dim = rep(1, 6),
dimnames = "missing",
units = "NA",
iter = 1,
fill.iter = TRUE
)
# S4 method for vector
FLCohort(
object,
dim = c(length(object), rep(1, 5)),
dimnames = "missing",
units = "NA",
iter = 1
)
# S4 method for missing
FLCohort(object, dim = rep(1, 6), dimnames = "missing", units = "NA", iter = 1)
Details
This class represents cohorts in columns. It simply shifts the typical matrix representation where cohorts are found on the diagonals, into a matrix where cohorts are found in columns. It is very usefull for all analysis that want to make use of cohorts instead of years.
Slots
- .Data
Internal S4 data representation.
array
.- units
The data units in some understandable metric.

Constructor
Objects of this class are generally constructed from an FLQuant object.
