Not a light read,

This review is from: The Life Table: Modelling Survival and Death (European Studies of Population) (Hardcover)
Certainly not light reading! This book gives a lot of the mathematical background for actuarial tables. The chapters discuss various conditional probabilities in the developed world for life expectancy, given this precondition or that precondition. In some ways, the book is greatly unattainable. That is, if you live in subSaharan Africa or northern India or central China, where disease and malnutrition are still common. Plus the spectre of Aids/HIV, which has already had measurable lowering of the average life expectancy in several African countries. Those regions can only hope for the relevance of the book. Reasonably advanced knowledge of statistics is needed to get the most out of the book. |
