2.     Model Life Tables I. Principles of construction: regression methods, relational methods, and multidimensional statistical methods. Model Life Tables: The United Nations Tables (1955). Gabriel and Ronen (1958), The Princeton Tables (Coale and Demeny, Vaughan, Guo). The Ledermann Tables. Input data and the limitations.

 

3.     Model Life Tables II. W.Brass relational model life table, the relationship between the observed and reference (standard) tables. The OECD tables (groups A,B,C,D,E), The United Nations Tables (1982, 2010), The new WHO model life tables. Input data, methods of construction and the use.

 

4.     Stationary, Stable, Semistable, and Quasi-stable Populations. Geometric and exponential growth. Leslie matrix. Population momentum concept. The impact of fertility and mortality change on population age structure.

6.     Methods of Decomposing a Difference between Rates (Kitagawa, das Gupta). Decomposing a difference between two crude rates into two or three components (including an interaction term). Effects due to change in structure and to change in intensity. The concept of standardizing rates. The differences between two sexes, periods or two countries. Excel spreadsheets MPIDR.

 

7.      Methods of Decomposing a Difference between Life Tables (Pressat, Pollard, Arriaga). The impact of each age-specific difference in mortality on a difference between two life expectancies. The contribution of causes of deaths (Pollard). The use of temporary life expectancy between two specific ages (Arriaga), the index of relative change, effects due to the change of mortality in each particular age group (direct and indirect effect), effect of the interaction.
