Posterior Distributions

Posterior distributions of mortality schedules and life expectancies, for states and microregions, by sex.

All links are to PDF files containing graphs.

In the Summary plots, each population (state or microregion) corresponds to one of the horizontal bars that represent 80% posterior intervals for local life expectancy.

The Details plots -- as in the example on this page -- illustrate the raw data (log of registered deaths/exposure by single year of age), and the pointwise medians and 80% posterior intervals for local age-specific mortality, and the posterior density of local life expectancy.
