Data retrieve from new site HMD not found. Searching in the former HMD database

[jrcarob]

Dear Mr. Pascariu:

Despite the registration in the new HMD site, when using the package MortalityLaws is not possible to import any dataset from any country. We following error appears:

Ex data for FRATNP state in the 1x1 format was not to be found. We have been looking here:
https://former.mortality.org/hmd/ESP/Exposures_1x1.txt

I am trying to simulate for other countries but I cannot import the datasets.

In addition, I was checking the MortalityEstimate package and would like to adapt it to different countries instead of England and Wales, France, Sweden and USA. Based on that package I am trying to modify the functions just to import the country data I am trying to analyze but I got the same error when using the MortalityLaws package.

Any ideas on what could be the problem?

Thanks in advance for your time and support.

Hi Jose, The package does not support yet the new version of HMD, since we are still waiting for the API that’s being build around it. However you can access the HMD data using the MortalityLaws package with your old username and password (for the former HMD website). Let me know if it does not work.

Dear Mr. Pascarius,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. The former HMD website does not work either. Even with my old username and password. It seems that the package MortalityLaws (I am working with vers. 1.9.4.) is unable to retrieve data from the former HMD site. I do not know what might be the problem. I tried different intervals, countries, etc... and always get the same error:

Error: mx data for USA state in the 1x1 format was not to be found. We have been looking here:
https://former.mortality.org/hmd/USA/Mx_1x1.txt

I do not know if someone else is having also the same issues.

Thank you very much for your time and support.

Ok, I will look into it and hopefully submit a fix tomorrow. On 3 Oct 2022, at 16:41, Jose R. Caro ***@***.******@***.***>> wrote: Dear Mr. Pascarius, Thank you very much for your prompt reply.
