How life expectancy varies with perturbations in age-specific mortality
BACKGROUND A naturally arising question in demography is how a given change in mortality affects life expectancy. Scholars have targeted this question with different aims and from different perspectives. OBJECTIVE We present and prove the central relationship between change in mortality and resulting change in e0, and we systematically apply it to investigate the effect of specific mortality pe...
متن کاملAdding years to life: effect of avoidable mortality on life expectancy at birth.
STUDY OBJECTIVE The aim was to determine the number of years that could be gained by preventing avoidable deaths. DESIGN The study arose from the concept of avoidable causes of death and life expectancy at birth. Four abbreviated life tables were computed. The first included all causes of death; the second excluded all avoidable causes of death; the third and fourth excluded respectively prim...

ognized indicator of population health. Estimates have been reported for centuries, during which the methods of life table derivation have been refined and incorporated as one of a demographer’s most useful tools. Increasingly, health planners and epidemiologists are asked to produce local level health status reports. However, life expectancy has frequently disappeared from such reports (in Ont...
متن کاملLeveraging deep neural networks to capture psychological representations
Decades of psychological research have been aimed at modeling how people learn features and categories. The empirical validation of these theories is often based on artificial stimuli with simple representations. Recently, deep neural networks have reached or surpassed human accuracy on tasks such as identifying objects in natural images. These networks learn representations of real-world stimu...
متن کاملUsing Neural Networks with Limited Data to Estimate Manufacturing Cost
Neural networks were used to estimate the cost of jet engine components, specifically shafts and cases. The neural network process was compared with results produced by the current conventional cost estimation software and linear regression methods. Due to the complex nature of the parts and the limited amount of information available, data expansion techniques such as doubling-data and data-cr...
