Margin of Error
Message posted by Jim Turner on March 28, 2000 at 12:00 AM (ET)

Has anybody studied life expectancy tables, with a cohart group's health as part of the equation, so that a different date of death outside the expectancy tables is assigned, either a year of death and a month within that year? Or could you refer me to some work on Probabilities, like Rules of Probabilities for Dummies? Thank you!

You may try Logistic regression.
A good elementary introduction to statistics and probability is
STATISTICS : Purves, Masani, Friedman.
