title: 'HOME: Harmonized Orphanhood Mortality Estimation'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.HOME
abstract: Implements indirect demographic methods for estimating adult mortality from
  orphanhood data. The package includes the standard Brass (1973) method, the regression-based
  approach developed by Timaeus (1991), and the adjustments proposed by Luy (2012)
  for low-mortality populations <https://doi.org/10.1007/s13524-012-0101-7>. 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.
