A theoretical expectancy table calculator

Life expectancy--a commentary on this life table variable.

In 1992, I wrote an article on a method of modifying the Decennial US Life Table to accommodate any pattern of excess mortality expressed in terms of excess death rate (EDR), for the specific purpose of calculating the reduced life expectancy, e. I believe this was the first article published in the Journal of Insurance Medicine (JIM) that dealt specifically with life expectancy as an index of ...

Theoretical perspectives: Eccles’ expectancy-value theory

Modeling and forecasting health expectancy: theoretical framework and application.

Life expectancy continues to grow in most Western countries; however, a major remaining question is whether longer life expectancy will be associated with more or fewer life years spent with poor health. Therefore, complementing forecasts of life expectancy with forecasts of health expectancies is useful. To forecast health expectancy, an extension of the stochastic extrapolative models develop...

A Personalized BMI Calculator

The (classes of the) objects we saw in the previous chapter are rather simple. Not because they are small in size. In fact, in well-written, real-world code, objects tend to be fairly small. The main reason for the simplicity is that each of these objects has a single, self-contained method that does not interact with other methods. In this chapter we will see how methods can call each other, m...
