...Robert Schoen Abstract Even though a single summary index of mortality can never replace the set of age-specific death rates, it has been found to be extremely useful for a wide variety of purposes. Such indexes are generally one of two types: aggregative indexes, such as directly standardized...

.... To see the issue at hand, consider a research design that relies on data structure such as the “gold standard” (Cowper et al. 2002 ) of NHIS data matched to National Death Index (NDI). It is easy to see why these data earned the gold standard imprimatur. After all, the NHIS data set is large...
