Selected demographic methods of mortality analysis : Approaches focused on adults and the oldest age-groups using primarily cross-sectional data

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Questions about human life span, longevity and mortality in general are natural to almost everyone. This work deals with one central question - whether some limit of human life span or of its improvements exists. It is rather a methodological work, therefore its aim is to introduce not only relevant theories but above all the methods usable in the mortality analysis focused on adults or the oldest-old. At the beginning, the most important theories and opinions of scientist dealing with mortality are introduced. The theme of life tables is opened by an analysis of its construction in the Czech Republic, together with its possible modifications. As a result the independent macro code for the SAS software was prepared (available online). This macro enables to calculate the unknown parameters of selected mortality functions by the method of weighted non-linear least squares and to produce smoothed and extrapolated values of mortality rates. In the second half of the work, there are several
