(b) improve the calculation of H-DALYs: rather than just using a fixed conversion of 1 death = 15 YLL, we should use the 'right' life expectancy, and we should estimate the actual age at death (and i think just taking the mean age in the population bin is probably close enough), and subtract to get YLL...
(c) investigate discounting
(d) add all this to the user guide so that the methodology is properly documented.
To do:
(a) implement I-DALYs in addition to H-DALYs
