The HMDHFDplus package only contains functions for reading data into R. Currently there are functions for reading in HMD, JMD, CHMD, HFD, and HFC code, and there are plans to implement HLD code as well.

Installation

The package is on CRAN: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/HMDHFDplus/

This means you can install it using:

install.packages("HMDHFDplus")

The github version is more up-to-date, but note, the maintained version is now hosted in a bespoke github repository: https://github.com/timriffe/HMDHFDplus, and you can install it directly like so

# install.packages("remotes", dependencies = TRUE)
library(remotes)
install_github("timriffe/HMDHFDplus")
