A year ago I had the honour of submitting to the Institute a paper on “A Short Method of Constructing Select Mortality Tables”, which has been published in the Journal, vol. lii, pp. 286–341. For convenience it may be referred to as “the former paper.” A definition of the short method was given as follows:
The short method of constructing select tables consists in preparing first of all an ultimate table, and then in constructing the select columns by means of factors formed from the ratios between the actual deaths and those expected by the ultimate table, and by which factors the ultimate qx is to be multiplied.
