The force of mortality () can be interpreted as the conditional density of failure at age x, while f(x) is the unconditional density of failure at age x. [1] The unconditional density of failure at age x is the product of the probability of survival to age x , and the conditional density of failure at age x , given survival to age x .
The Pattern Method: Let the pattern of mortality continue until the rate approaches or hits 1.000 and set that as the ultimate age. The Less-Than-One Method: This is a variation on the Forced Method. The ultimate mortality rate is set equal to the expected mortality at a selected ultimate age, rather 1.000 as in the Forced Method.

The occurrence of infant mortality in a population can be described by the infant mortality rate (IMR), which is the number of deaths of infants under one year of age per 1,000 live births. [1] Similarly, the child mortality rate , also known as the under-five mortality rate, compares the death rate of children up to the age of five.
The Lee–Carter model is a numerical algorithm used in mortality forecasting and life expectancy forecasting. [1] The input to the model is a matrix of age specific mortality rates ordered monotonically by time, usually with ages in columns and years in rows. The output is a forecasted matrix of mortality rates in the same format as the input.
Along with mortality rate, natality rate is used to calculate the dynamics of a population. They are the key factors in determining whether a population is increasing, decreasing or staying the same in size. Natality is the greatest influence on a population's increase. Natality is shown as a crude birth rate or specific birth rate.
The bird at the center of the worst single-species mortality event in modern history isn’t recovering, scientists say Julianna Bragg, CNN December 26, 2024 at 8:18 AM
Some birds and some lizards follow this pattern. Type III or concave curves have the greatest mortality (lowest age-specific survival) early in life, with relatively low rates of death (high probability of survival) for those surviving this bottleneck. This type of curve is characteristic of species that produce a large number of offspring ...
