Abstract
In chapter 4 a new mortality rate estimation scheme was developed. This new method will now be compared to methods proposed by Parslow, Sonntag and Matthews (1979), Manly (1987) and Hay, Evans and Gamble (1988) using simulated data which for most of the comparisons, we constructed in a way that would, a priori favour the “riva” method. The two variants of the new method of chapter 4 will then be compared in a similar way.
