This repository includes R code for estimating mortality indicators and full 

life tables based on given one or two pieces of information: life expectancy, 

child mortality, or child and adult mortality. The implemented models are 

better suited to the practical needs of mortality estimation, since the input parameters are continuous yet the second one is optional.

Installation

============

1. Make sure you have the most recent version of R

2. Run the following code in your R console 

```r

# install.packages("devtools")

library(devtools)

install_github("mpascariu/MortalityEstimate")

```
