... called attention to it). It is said that H measures the concavity (Keyfitz, 1977a), convexity (Demetrius, 1979a,b), or rectangularity (Nagnur, 1986) of a survival curve. From a mathematical viewpoint, it has no necessary association with the life expectancy. In a negative exponential life table...
