You just need the number of people of a certain age, but you can also use single individual data. `mortAAR` allows to separate the data according to sex/location/epoch or any other grouping variable.\n\nWhat is a life table [aka discrete time survival analysis]? According to [Chamberlain](https://books.google.de/books?id=nG5FoO_becAC\u0026lpg=PA27\u0026ots=LG0b_xrx6O\u0026dq=life%20table%20archaeology\u0026pg=PA27#v=onepage\u0026q\u0026f=false) it is a\n\n\u003e \"(...) mathematical device for representing the mortality experience of a population and for exploring the effects on survivorship of age-specific probabilities of death. One reason why life tables have been ubiquitous in demography is that mortality cannot easily be modelled as a single equation or continuous function of age.\"\n\nTo our knowledge as of writing, a simple to use and easily accessible tool to calculate and create archaeological life tables has been lacking. That is why we sat down and put `mortAAR` for R together. We hope it will be of use for archaeologists world-wide.\n\nIn our view, `mortAAR` shines in the following areas:\n\n- Ease and flexibility of input (different kinds of customization and grouping)\n- Sophisticated means of computation (exploding of age ranges, separation factor for average lived years)\n- Comprehensiveness of output (life tables for all groups specified, plots for the most important measures, relative population calculation)\n\nFor further information, please have a look at the Vignettes – [Basic usage](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=mortAAR/vignettes/mortAAR_vignette-1.html), [Extended discussion](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=mortAAR/vignettes/mortAAR_vignette_extended.html), [Life table correction](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=mortAAR/vignettes/mortAAR_vignette_lt_correction.html) and [Reproduction](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=mortAAR/vignettes/mortAAR_vignette_reproduction.html) – and the [Manual](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=mortAAR/mortAAR.pdf). \n\nInstallation\n------------\n\n`mortAAR` is available on [CRAN](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=mortAAR) and can be installed through `install.packages(\"mortAAR\")`.
