Regression Models and Life-Tables

Mortality study of nickel-cadmium battery workers by the method of regression models in life tables.

The mortality experienced by a cohort of 3025 nickel-cadmium battery workers during the period 1946-81 has been investigated. Occupational histories were described in terms of some 75 jobs: eight with "high", 14 with "moderate" or slight, and 53 with minimal exposure to cadmium oxide (hydroxide). The method of regression models in life tables (RMLT) was used to compare the estimated cadmium exp...

Dynamic spatial regression models for space-varying forest stand tables

U.S. decennial life tables for 1999-2001: state life tables.

OBJECTIVE This report, following publication of the national life tables (1,2) for 1999-2001, presents state-specific life tables for the 50 states and District of Columbia by race (white and black) and sex. These tables are the most recent in a series of decennial life tables for the United States. METHODS Data used to prepare these state-specific life tables include population counts by age...

Prospective life tables

Prospective life tables depend on forecasting age-specific mortality. Considerable attention has 2 been paid to methods for forecasting mortality in recent years. Much of this work has grown 3 out of the seminal Lee-Carter method (Lee & Carter 1992). Other extrapolative approaches 4 use Bayesian modelling, generalized linear modelling and state-space approaches. Methods for 5 forecasting mortal...
