Analysis of Life Tables with Grouping and Withdrawals.

Abstract

Individuals are observed until either they withdraw or die. The data are then grouped into intervals and from the grouped data it is desired to estimate the death-rate for the intervals. The present paper considers only a single interval. A method is suggested which gives interesting estimates with standard errors that do not tend to zero as the sample size tends to infinity.
