Results show that using the different stochastic modelling methods, the total differences can reach as much as 3 6 mm in the baseline component, especially in the height component, and 10 mm in the ZTD estimation.
In "A Christian Manifesto," Schaeffer writes: "What we must understand is that the two world views really do bring forth with inevitable certainty not only personal differences, but total differences in regard to society, government, and law.
Similarly, the contribution of the variance in the skewness statistic (A') to the total differences in e A was small.
The empirical study showed that the covariance between life expectancy and the dispersion of ages at death contributed substantially to total differences between countries and to their convergence.
At the same time, differences between countries in the age-at-death dispersion itself, as measured by SD, were small and of little and decreasing importance for the total differences between distributions.
The proposed measures, based on the ELL, and the decomposition thus generate additional conclusions on the importance of the three parameters of age-at-death distributions for total differences between countries, and reveal the true extent of these differences.
