Mortality Table - Grouping and Aggregating Data

Overview

Mortality tables can be constructed from raw datasets using fairly simple scripts.

Data Formats

The scripts used to construct a mortality table is dependent on the format of the data.

• Interval Records - each record represents a time interval for a single individual in the dataset, indicating whether the event occurred in the interval or not.
• Lifetime Records - lifetime records are records of individuals, indicating the individual age at the time of the event in question.
