Unique estimation of Gompertz parameters with mortality deceleration rate
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we have proven uniqueness theorems for estimation of the age-dependent parameter α in the Gompertz survival model with a mortality deceleration rate, in the absence of age-specific mortality data. We obtained estimations dependent on and uniform in the population size N . c © 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Mortality Measurement at Advanced Ages: A Study of the Social Administration Death Master File
Accurate estimates of mortality at advanced ages are essential to improving forecasts of mortality and the population size of the oldest old age group. However, estimation of hazard rates at extremely old ages poses serious challenges to researchers: (1) The observed mortality deceleration may be at least partially an artifact of mixing different birth cohorts with different mortality (heteroge...

متن کاملDietary restriction of rodents decreases aging rate without affecting initial mortality rate -- a meta-analysis.
Dietary restriction (DR) extends lifespan in multiple species from various taxa. This effect can arise via two distinct but not mutually exclusive ways: a change in aging rate and/or vulnerability to the aging process (i.e. initial mortality rate). When DR affects vulnerability, this lowers mortality instantly, whereas a change in aging rate will gradually lower mortality risk over time. Unrave...
