Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Construction and Graduation of a Mortality Table From the United States Census: Thesis
Introduction Before presenting the construction and graduation of the Mortality Table derived in the present paper, let me call especial attention to two main facts (a) as far as I can find, this is the first mortality table constructed from the statistics of the United States Census; (b) the figures of this table are intended to represent, as nearly as possible, present day conditions in mortality rates. Bearing on these two facts, the following brief discussion is given of (a) and (b) (a) Several mortality tables have been constructed from incomplete data, such as death returns, physicians' reports.

On the Construction and Graduation of a Mortality Table From the United States
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a mortality table constructed from the statistics of the United States Census. It is intended to represent mortality rates as they exist in the present day. The author emphasizes the changes in mortality rates over the last forty years, particularly the decreased death rate for people under fifty and the increased death rate for people above that age. The book discusses the source of the data used in the construction of the mortality table, the method of interpolation used to fill in the gaps in the data, and the method of graduation used to smooth the table. The resulting mortality table is presented in full, and the author discusses its significance for students of social conditions and life insurance problems. The book provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of mortality rates and their implications for society and insurance.
