The dataset name has been changed to 'fdeaths_ts' to avoid confusion with datasets from other packages in the R ecosystem and to follow the naming conventions of the 'MedDataSets' package. The suffix '_ts' indicates that this dataset is a time series object, helping to distinguish it from other datasets within the package and from those in the broader R ecosystem. The original content of the dataset has not been modified in any way.
