Abstract

The apc package includes functions for age-period-cohort analysis based on the canonical parametrisation of Kuang et al. (2008). The package includes functions for organizing the data, descriptive plots, a deviance table, estimation of (sub-models of) the age-period-cohort model, a plot for speci cation testing, plots of estimated parameters, and sub-sample analysis.
