Discussing the Strehler-Mildvan model of mortality

Finkelstein, Maxim - In: Demographic Research 26 (2012) 9, pp. 191-206

Half a century ago Strehler and Mildvan (1960) have published the seminal paper that, based on some assumptions (postulates), theoretically â€˜justifiedâ€™ the Gompertz law of mortality. It also defined the, so called, Srehler-Mildvan correlation between the parameters of the Gompertz...

Life expectancy is the death-weighted average of the reciprocal of the survival-specific force of mortality

Cohen, Joel E. - In: Demographic Research 22 (2010) 5, pp. 115-128

with a positive age-specific force of mortality at all ages, the expectation of life at age x is the average of the … reciprocal of the survival-specific force of mortality at ages after x, weighted by life-table deaths at each age after x, as … reciprocal of the survival-specific force of mortality over surviving proportions less than s, weighted by life-table deaths at …

Survival as a Function of Life Expectancy

Finkelstein, Maxim; Vaupel, James W. - In: Demographic Research 21 (2009) 29, pp. 879-884

It is well known that life expectancy can be expressed as an integral of the survival curve. The reverse - that the survival function can be expressed as an integral of life expectancy - is also true.

Analyzing firm mortality using life table techniques

Pflaumer, Peter - 1994

The mortality of German joint stock companies is investigated using life table techniques. An EDB-distribution or Hjorth-distribution and an exponential distribution are fitted to the hazard rates, whereby the population is divided into small and large firms. Survivor functions and life...
