Maximum lifespan prediction of women from Modified Weibull Distribution

Abstract

Maximum life span (or, for humans, maximum reported age at death) is a measure of the maximum amount of time one or more members of a population have been observed to survive between birth and death. The term can also denote an estimate of the maximum amount of time that a member of a given species could survive between birth and death, provided circumstances that are optimal to that member's longevity. In the absence of age-specific mortality data, the estimation of age dependent parameter �(�)r(t) in this article leads us to infer that the maximum life span of women can be estimated using the scale parameter �α.
