In [[actuarial science]] and [[demography]], a '''life table''' (also called a '''mortality table''' or '''actuarial table''') is a table which shows, for each age, what the probability is that a person of that age will die before his or her next birthday ("[[probability of death]]"). From this starting point, a number of inferences can be derived.
 
*the [[probability]] of surviving any particular year of age
*remaining [[life expectancy]] for people at different ages
 
Life tables are also used extensively in [[biology]] and [[epidemiology]]. The concept is also of importance in [[product life cycle management]].
 
==Background==
There are two types of life tables:
* '''''Period'' or ''static'' life tables''' show the current probability of death (for people of different ages, in the current year)
* '''''Cohort'' life tables''' show the probability of death of people from a given cohort (especially birth year) over the course of their lifetime.
 
Static life tables [[Sample (statistics)|sample]] individuals assuming a stationary population with [[overlapping generation]]s. "Static Life tables" and "cohort life tables" will be identical if population is in equilibrium and environment does not change. "Life table" primarily refers to ''period'' life tables, as cohort life tables can only be constructed using data up to the current point, and distant projections for future mortality.
 
Life tables can be constructed using projections of future mortality rates, but more often they are a snapshot of age-specific mortality rates in the recent past, and do not necessarily purport to be projections. For these reasons, the older ages represented in a life table may have a greater chance of not being representative of what lives at these ages may experience in future, as it is predicated on current advances in medicine, [[public health]], and safety standards that did not exist in the early years of this cohort.
 
Life tables are usually constructed separately for men and for women because of their substantially different [[mortality rate]]s. Other characteristics can also be used to distinguish different risks, such as [[Tobacco smoking|smoking]] status, occupation, and socioeconomic class.
 
Life tables can be extended to include other information in addition to mortality, for instance health information to calculate health expectancy. Health expectancies such as [[disability-adjusted life year]] and [[Healthy Life Years]] are the remaining number of years a person can expect to live in a specific health state, such as free of [[disability]]. Two types of life tables are used to divide the life expectancy into life spent in various states:
 
* '''Multi-state life tables''' (also known as increment-decrements life tables) are based on transition rates in and out of the different states and to death
* '''Prevalence-based life tables''' (also known as the Sullivan method) are based on external information on the proportion in each state. Life tables can also be extended to show life expectancies in different [[labor force]] states or [[marital status]] states.
 
==Insurance applications==
 
In order to price [[insurance]] products, and ensure the solvency of insurance companies through adequate reserves, actuaries must develop projections of future insured events (such as death, sickness, and disability). To do this, actuaries develop mathematical models of the rates and timing of the events. They do this by studying the incidence of these events in the recent past, and sometimes developing expectations of how these past events will change over time (for example, whether the progressive reductions in mortality rates in the past will continue) and deriving expected rates of such events in the future, usually based on the age or other relevant characteristics of the population. These are called mortality tables if they show death rates, and morbidity tables if they show various types of sickness or disability rates.
 
The availability of computers and the proliferation of data gathering about individuals has made possible calculations that are more voluminous and intensive than those used in the past (i.e. they crunch more numbers) and it is more common to attempt to provide different tables for different uses, and to factor in a range of non-traditional behaviors (e.g. gambling, debt load) into specialized calculations utilized by some institutions for evaluating risk. This is particularly the case in non-life insurance (e.g. the pricing of motor insurance can allow for a large number of risk factors, which requires a correspondingly complex table of expected claim rates). However the expression "life table" normally refers to human survival rates and is not relevant to non-life insurance.
 
==The mathematics==
[[File:Data from National Vital Statistics Report tPx.png|thumb|right|<sub>''t''</sub>p<sub>''x''</sub> chart from Table 1. Life table for the total population: United States, 2003, Page 8]]
The basic algebra used in life tables is as follows.
 
* <math>\,q_x</math>''':'''  the probability that someone aged exactly <math>\,x</math> will die before reaching age <math>\,(x+1)</math>.
* <math>\,p_x</math>''':'''  the probability that someone aged exactly <math>\,x</math> will survive to age <math>\,(x+1)</math>.
:: <math>\,p_x = 1-q_x</math>
* <math>\,l_x</math>''':'''  the number of people who survive to age <math>\,x</math>
:: note that this is based on a radix.,<ref>{{cite web|title=Period Abridged Life Tables|publisher=avon.nhs.uk|url=http://www.avon.nhs.uk/phnet/Methods/life_tables.htm}}</ref> or starting point, of <math>\,l_0</math> lives, typically taken as 100,000
:: <math>\,l_{x + 1} = l_x \cdot (1-q_x) = l_x \cdot p_x</math>
:: <math>\,{l_{x + 1} \over l_x} = p_x</math>
* <math>\,d_x</math>''':'''  the number of people who die aged <math>\,x</math> last birthday
:: <math>\,d_x = l_x-l_{x+1} = l_x \cdot (1-p_x) = l_x \cdot q_x</math>
* <math>\,{}_tp_x</math>''':'''  the probability that someone aged exactly <math>\,x</math> will survive for <math>\,t</math> more years, i.e. live up to at least age <math>\,x+t</math> years
::<math>\,{}_tp_x = {l_{x+t} \over l_x}</math>
* <math>\,{}_{t|k}q_x</math>''':''' the probability that someone aged exactly <math>\,x</math> will survive for <math>\,t</math> more years, then die within the following <math>\,k</math> years
::<math>\,{}_{t|k}q_x = {}_t p_x \cdot {}_k q_{x+t} = {l_{x+t} - l_{x+t+k} \over l_x}</math>
* μ<sub>''x''</sub> : the ''[[force of mortality]]'', i.e. the instantaneous mortality rate at age ''x'', i.e. the number of people dying in a short interval starting at age ''x'', divided by l<sub>x</sub> and also divided by the length of the interval.
 
Another common variable is
* <math>\,m_x</math>
This symbol refers to Central rate of mortality. It is approximately equal to the average force of mortality, averaged over the year of age.
 
==Ending a Mortality Table==
 
In practice, it is useful to have an ultimate age associated with a mortality table.  Once the ultimate age is reached, the mortality rate is assumed to be 1.000.  This age may be the point at which life insurance benefits are paid to a survivor or annuity payments cease.
 
Four methods can be used to end mortality tables:<ref>{{cite web|title=Ending the Mortality Table|publisher=soa.org|url=http://www.soa.org/library/monographs/retirement-systems/living-to-100-and-beyond/2005/january/m-li05-1-ix.pdf}}</ref>
*The Forced Method: Select an ultimate age and set the mortality rate at that age equal to 1.000 without any changes to other mortality rates. This creates a discontinuity at the ultimate age compared to the penultimate and prior ages.
*The Blended Method: Select an ultimate age and blend the rates from some earlier age to dovetail smoothly into 1.000 at the ultimate age.
*The Pattern Method: Let the pattern of mortality continue until the rate approaches or hits 1.000 and set that as the ultimate age.
*The Less-Than-One Method: This is a variation on the Forced Method.  The ultimate mortality rate is set equal to the expected mortality at a selected ultimate age, rather 1.000 as in the Forced Method.  This rate will be less than 1.000.
 
==Epidemiology==
In epidemiology and public health, both standard life tables to calculate life expectancy and Sullivan and multistate life tables to calculate '''health expectancy''' are commonly used. The latter include information on health in addition to mortality.

Picking the right hosting service is essential. The last thing you wish to do is get a website published with a hosting service (after finding out to use that hosting service), and then be dissatisfied with the service and have to mess around with moving your internet site to an additional hosting service.

I'm a happy HostGator client. I use both HostGator and Bluehost.

I'll start with among the most essential considerations: Price

HostGator has several rates strategies. They are as follows (as of the date this article was published):.

Hatchling Strategy: as reduced as $4.95 per month with a 3 year commitment. On this plan you can host one internet site.
Infant Plan: as low as $7.95 per month with a 3 year dedication. On this plan you can host a limitless number of websites.
Business Strategy: as reduced as $12.95 per month with 3 year commitment.

You do not have to dedicate for 3 years. Nevertheless, with shorter term dedications, you'll pay a little even more per month.

You can likewise get your very own dedicated server if this is something you such as to have.

Unrestricted number of internet sites.

I wouldn't think about a hosting service that didn't let me host an unrestricted number of sites for one regular monthly price under $10. I have several websites and I like the adaptability of being able to build more sites at no added cost (except for registering the domain).

If you select the Infant Plan (this is the plan I have) or Company Strategy, you can host as many sites on as many domain as you such as. This is where making use of a hosting service like HostGator can save you a terrific offer of cash in the long run against using a website home builder or having a website designer host your websites. When you use a website builder or have a website designer host your website, you'll typically pay extra for each additional internet site (or each additional set of sites).

The disadvantage of course, is you must handle your own hosting. Nevertheless, luckily, this isn't really tough with the simple CPanel and technical support.

Domain registration.

You can easily sign up domain names with HostGator. Absolutely nothing can be even worse than developing an excellent site and then to lose it all since you forgot to renew your domain name. It's possible then that someone else registers your domain name and you cannot get it once again.

All HostGator prepares offer unlimited bandwidth.

This is good and you ought to need this with any website hosting service. I would not consider using a hosting service that didn't offer endless bandwidth.

Easy-to-use CPanel Dashboard.

You manage your sites with HostGator in a dash panel described as a CPanel. The CPanel is a simple interface to handle your sites and domains.

Easy website setup.

I particularly need with any hosting service that I use can install WordPress with virtually a single click or a series of easy clicks. HostGator offers Fantastico De Luxe and QuickInstall choices for easily installing WordPress and numerous other scripts to construct your site (i.e. Joomla and others).

Access to 4,500 website templates.

For any internet designer, this is huge. In case you loved this information and you wish to receive more details about http://www.hostgator1centcoupon.info/ (http://www.1abtaxis.co.uk/?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&task=user&id=54541) please visit the internet site. This is a wonderful method to build internet sites cheaply for clients. You can examine out these templates for yourself on the HostGator website without having to sign up.

Free website home builders.

With an account, you can easily develop a site with one of two website home builders you get access to. The 2 internet site contractors are:.

Trendy Site Home builder, and.
Site Studio website contractor.

Note, you can only utilize the website home builders for one website on your account. What this means is if you get an account where you can host unrestricted domains, you can just develop one website with a website home builder.

E-mail accounts.

You get endless POP3 email accounts with SMTP. Having e-mail accounts on your custom-made domain names is more expert than a gmail or hotmail email account.

45 day refund ensure.

You can get your money back if you cancel your account within 45 days if HostGator isn't really for you.

Video tutorials.

HostGator provides you access to many video tutorials that step you through many procedures.

Customer support.

The operators for technical support understand a lot about working in HostGator. If you have a question about tailoring a WordPress theme, HostGator will not assist you (I discovered this to be the case with Bluehost.

1 Objection of HostGator.

I had to call HostGator to confirm my account upon opening it. This didn't take long, however it was an extra action. I would have chosen merely to sign up and start without needing to call them for confirmation.
