GitHub Sponsors Profile

Hi! I'm a demographer developing and maintaining several different R packages including:

[ ] DDM "... two-census methods to the estimate the degree of death registration coverage for a population." https://github.com/timriffe/adultcoverage
[ ] HMDHFDplus "Reading Human Fertility Database and Human Mortality Database (and others) data into R." https://github.com/timriffe/TR1)
[ ] DemoDecomp "Generalized demographic decomposition methods" https://github.com/timriffe/DemoDecomp

and several other packages large and small. The above-mentioned packages especially are all in need of regular maintenance or upgrades, but it's super hard to prioritize them given the continuous burdens of academia. I get requests from peers for fixes and features but just can't keep up. Aside from reporting issues and making pull requests, you can also support this work by becoming a sponsor. A sponsorship either buys my time to work on those packages or lets me solicit and reward helpful pull requests that amount to the same.
Contact me for any questions or concerns, and thanks for your interest and support.
