On a Formula giving the Expectation of Life approximatively
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 August 2016
Extract
Dr. Farr. in the 12th Report of the Registrar-General, has given the value of annuities and the expectation of life, as deduced from the male English Life Table.
Observing a very uniform difference between the results thus obtained and those from the Carlisle Table of Mortality, it appeared to me probable that a simple hypothesis might be constructed which would produce a close approximation to the expectation of life between certain ages, but somewhat less favourable than the hypothesis. I proposed in 1857 for the expectation of life according to the Carlisle Table of Mortality.
