## Introduction
The beers package provides the Beers ordinary and modified methods for interpolating
between 5-yearly points, and subdividing 5-yearly agebands. The most likely usage is
with demographic data that has been presented at 5-yearly intervals, or in 5-yearly
age-bands. The Beers algorithm can be used to interpolate, or subdivide those data
respectively, and is notably used by UNWPP for that purpose.
## Usage
Four functions provide interpolation or subdivision, with the ordinary or modified
Beers method. For interpolation, the algorithm requires at least 6 points, and for
subdivision at least 5 points.
```{r example}
beers_int_ordinary(c(1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32))
beers_int_modified(c(1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32))
beers_sub_ordinary(c(10, 20, 40, 80, 160))
beers_sub_modified(c(10, 20, 40, 80, 160))
```
## Installation
You can install beers from github with:
```{r gh-installation, eval = FALSE}
