Abstract

Abstract:This paper proposes another approach to estimation of adult mortality in developing countries based on the variable-r method. The method derives estimates of adult mortality from the age distributions of two censuses. It is similar to Preston-Bennett method, but uses a slightly different approach to obtain estimates of person-years lived and expectation of life at age x. The proposed method is very simple and estimates from it compare favorably well with estimates from other related methods.

基于变量-r方法的发展中国家成人死亡率估计应用

摘要:本文提出了一种基于变量r法的发展中国家成人死亡率估计方法。该方法根据两次人口普查的年龄分布得出成人死亡率估计数。它与Preston-Bennett方法类似，但使用一种略有不同的方法来获得x岁时的人年寿命和预期寿命的估计值。所提出的方法非常简单，其估计值与其他相关方法的估计值相比较有利。
