Coale-Demeny Model Life Tables

The Coale-Demeny life tables consist of four sets of models, each representing
a distinct mortality pattern. Each model is arranged in terms of 25 mortality
levels, associated with different expectations of life at birth for females in
such a way that e0 of 20 years corresponds to level 1 and e0 of 80 years
corresponds to level 25.
