Dear all,=0AI want to model age-specific mortality rates, but have only age= data of captured indivdiduals. These individuals are a random sample (with= out replacement) of the larger population. I assume that the age-distributi= on of the captured individuals is a function of the age-specific mortality = rate, but seem unable to find/think of models linking the two. Though the a= ge-specific mortality rate is alike the hazard function in survival analysi= s, I cannot use these techniques since I have NO life times but ONLY censor= ing times. My gratitude would be enormous if anybody could give me some adv= ice on how to approach this problem.=0ABest regards, Michael Drescher=0A=0A= =0A=09=09=0A___________________________________________________________ =0A= What kind of emailer are you?
