  <dc:title>Harmonized Orphanhood Mortality Estimation</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package HOME version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Implements indirect demographic methods for estimating adult
    mortality from orphanhood data. The package includes the standard
    Brass and Hill (1973) method
    &lt;https://scholar.google.com/scholar_lookup?&amp;title=Estimating%20Adult%20Mortality%20from%20Orphanhood&amp;pages=111-23&amp;publication_year=1973&amp;author=Brass%2CW.&amp;author=Hill.%2CK.&gt;,
    the regression-based approach developed by Timaeus (1992)
    &lt;https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12317481/&gt;, and the adjustments
    proposed by Luy (2012) &lt;doi:10.1007/s13524-012-0101-4&gt; for
    low-mortality populations. A relational model is used to harmonize
    estimates into comparable adult mortality indicators. The package
    also provides diagnostic tools to assess the sensitivity of results
    to assumptions about the mean age of childbearing and the choice of
    model life table family.</dc:description>
