Calculation of Model Tables

Abstract

We have omitted sections of the chapter on the correlation of _n q _x to _n q _y and $\mathop e\limits^ \circ _{10}$, which was high in all cases, and on the calculation of stable populations. The regression coefficients for the _n q _x on $\mathop e\limits^ \circ _{10}$ and the separation factors k, α are also left out here, since these are less important than the methods underlying their derivation.
