Construction of expanded continuous life tables— a generalization of abridged and complete life tables

摘要: Abstract This article extends the recent abridged life-table method of Hsieh [7]. It generalizes conventional discrete (abridged and complete) life tables into a continuous table that can produce functions at any age develops unified construction simplifies disparate laborious procedures used in traditional approach constructing complete tables. A set precise based on cubic spline for main body mortality law advanced ages is developed estimating basic nonbasic from given schedule. The proposed also more than other existing methods. illustrated with Canadian data.
