#' Calculating age from date of birth #' #' For age calculations. Vectorised. #' @param dob Date of birth. Data format follows standard POSIX layout. Format is yyyy-mm-dd. #' @param enddate Date to calculate age at. Format is yyyy-mm-dd. #' @param units Default is "years". Can be changed to "days". #' @param precise Default is TRUE. Flag set whether to include calculations of spring years.
