Description:
Implements indirect demographic methods for estimating adult mortality from orphanhood data. The package includes the standard Brass and Hill (1973) method <https://scholar.google.com/scholar_lookup?&title=Estimating%20Adult%20Mortality%20from%20Orphanhood&pages=111-23&publication_year=1973&author=Brass%2CW.&author=Hill.%2CK.>, the regression-based approach developed by Timaeus (1992) <https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12317481/>, and the adjustments proposed by Luy (2012) <doi:10.1007/s13524-012-0101-4> for low-mortality populations. A relational model is used to harmonize estimates into comparable adult mortality indicators. The package also provides diagnostic tools to assess the sensitivity of results to assumptions about the mean age of childbearing and the choice of model life table family.
