✦ Synopsis

A recent model for heterogeneous mortality by VAUPEL et al. (1979) is shown t o be based on incorrect definitions. An alternative formulation is presented. The results indicate that current methods for computing the survivorship and life expectation functions underestimate the true values. A method is given for determining the possible magnitude of this underestimation. The method is illustrated by a numerical example using U.S. data.
