To the group: Survexp has wonderful rate tables with extrapolation to 1990 and 2000. How can one create a table from CDC data for death rates by sex, age, year, and race, useful in survival? The CDC has specific death rates for 2003, for example. If someone will say this, I'll create rate tables and send them to R help for all to use. With kindest regards. Mitchell S.
