Dear All,

Does someone have, or know of survexp ratetables for european contries,
especially Austria and Germany?
I know only about slopop in the package relsurv.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking for; slopop contains counts
from the census.

Not exactly, slopop is already a ratetable, although the description says
"census data set for the Slovene population".
If I do:

library(relsurv)
data(slopop)
class(slopop)

[1] "ratetable"

I get class ratetable. It is not too difficult to construct a ratetable
from mortality data, but in case one is already available, I would use it.
It would be especially convenient to have one with a factor "contry" to be
used with international data.

If you're looking for rates or life tables, check out the Human Mortality
Database:

Thanks for the link.
