Determine the proportion of of the population in each weight bin. This is performed for females only and is an input parameter for the DEPMwt model.
Estimate_proportion_female( data, Weight, Weight.bins = NULL, Time = NULL, Region = NULL )
| data | A dataframe that conatins female weight in grams. No males should be included and must be removed before use |
|---|---|
| Weight | A character string of the variable in `data` that specifies weight in grams |
| Weight.bins | A numeric vector of weights to to create bins. Must be the lower bound for each bin. Midpoints and upper bounds are automatically determined. |
| Time | A string containing the column name for a timestep if desired as a grouping variable |
| Region | A string containing the column name for a region if desired as a grouping variable |
A dataframe with the columns Wt_bin, n, Prop, Prop_var, Lower_Wt, Upper_Wt, Bin_Width and Mid_point. Timestep and region columns are returned if used
