A Competing‐Risk Model for Animal Mortality
TL;DR: A three—component competing—rick model for animal mortality is presented, in which the additive hazards include a new model, dominant during the prematurity period; a constant hazard, dominant During the period of maturity; and the conventional Gompertz hazard, dominates during senescence.

Abstract: A three—component competing—rick model for animal mortality is presented, in which the additive hazards include a new model, dominant during the prematurity period; a constant hazard, dominant during the period of maturity; and the conventional Gompertz hazard, dominant during senescence. A good fit of the model is obtained to survival data for a variety of species, with both laboratory and field data being represented. Interpretation of the model parameters in terms of animal adjustment to hazards is offered. See full-text article at JSTOR

Human uniqueness illustrated by life history diversity among small-scale societies and chimpanzees
Raziel J. Davison,Michael Gurven +1 more
TL;DR: Humans differ from chimpanzees more because of delayed maturity and adult mortality than child mortality or fertility rates, and in both species, high child mortality reflects bet-hedging costs of quality/quantity tradeoffs borne by offspring.
Redefining Childhood through Bioarchaeology: Toward an Archaeological and Biological Understanding of Children in Antiquity
Megan A. Perry
- 28 Jun 2008
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present and critically evaluate the diverse techniques that may be used to illuminate relationships between biological evidence and social interpretations in the archaeological study of children and childhood and illustrate the utility of bioarchaeology in the study of ancient children.
Flexible parametric modeling of survival from age at death data: A mixed linear regression framework
TL;DR: A simple linear regression model with individual frailty that can fit a bathtub-shaped hazard, take into account covariates, allow goodness-of-fit assessments and give accurate estimates of survivorship in realistic settings is identified.

Onset of mortality increase with age and age trajectories of mortality from all diseases in the four Nordic countries.
Josef Dolejs,Petra Maresova +1 more
TL;DR: All-disease mortality represents an alternative tool to study the impact of age and fitted data on both sides of the mortality minimum determined the shape of the age–mortality trajectory.

Theoretical explanation of observed decreasing failure rate
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the theorem that a mixture of distributions each having a non-increasing failure rate (e.g., a mix of exponential distributions) itself has a non increasing failure rate, and the apparent decreasing failure rate of the pooled air-conditioning life distribution was satisfactorily explained.

An analysis of some failure data
TL;DR: The rationale and statistical techniques employed in the analysis of some failure data obtained from operations performed by machines and people are summarized and the agreement between theory and data is evaluated.
