Abstract

personage is designed in the first instance for calculations of people's ages from data on their birth date and some "current" daily date. A new variable is generated containing age in (completed) years; and new variables may be generated containing (1) time since last birthday in days and (2) length of the current year. Nothing stops application to any problem requiring completed years, and optionally extra days, as a representation of the difference between two daily dates.
