O Life table is obtained by first dividing the period into a
series of time intervals.
O For example, [0,20),[20,40),[40,80).
O Flexible interval.
O Survival function:
𝑆 𝑡 = (𝑛′
𝑖− − 𝑑 𝑖
𝑛′𝑖−
)
𝑡(𝑖)≤𝑡
Assumption Censorings occur:
At the beginning of interval :
𝑛′(𝑖−) = 𝑛(𝑖−) − 𝑞(𝑖)
At the end of interval:
𝑛′(𝑖−) = 𝑛(𝑖−)
Uniform/Average throughout the interval:
𝑛′(𝑖−) = 𝑛(𝑖−) −

Hazard Function
O Assume death rate is constant during the
interval, and the average time survived in
that interval is (𝑛′(𝑖−)
−𝑑 𝑖
2)∆(𝑖).
O The life table estimate of the hazard
function is:
ℎ 𝑡 =𝑑(𝑖)
