coeff_trussell_ti {u5mr}

Coefficients for the estimation of the time reference t(i)

Description

This is a dataset of coefficients used to derive the time reference t(i), for values of q(x) in the TRUSSELL version of the BRASS method, using Coale-Demeny mortality models.

Usage

data(coeff_trussell_ti)

Format

A data frame

Details

The basic estimation equation for the Trussell method (equation 4.3) is

t(i) = a(i) + b(i) P(1)/P(2) + c(i) P(2)/P(3)

The names of coefficients were changed from e, f, and g to a, b, and c.
