As the Internet transforms the way we communicate, as search engines and e-mail and even e-books alter the way scholars and students do research, it seems a fitting time to look back at the dawn of an earlier information age, the beginnings of the book era and the founding of the first libraries of the Western world.

When people are first looking at a candidate there is an information gap, so early information can fill the void and "set the narrative" about them.
The utility of such an approach would allow early information to predict later unobserved survival patterns in order to accurately identify changes in population-based survival years before such changes are observed.
MB's predictive accuracy (AUC = .75) does not support a robust prediction from early information collected.
