The estimation of adult mortality differentials in Kenya using a life table technique
(Department of Population Studies & Research Institute, University of Nairobi, 1985-07)In this study, the Horiuchi and Bennett (1981) technique is used to study the quality of the data on the number of registered deaths. The Preston and Bennett (1983), and the Bennett and Horiuchi (1982) techniques are then ... -
Estimation of adult mortality in Kenya using information on orphan-hood
(Department of Population Studies & Research Institute, University of Nairobi, 1986-05)There are various ways of constructing life table using indirect methods.
