This paper provides a data analysis and some methodological advances which contribute to an ongoing scientific debate about the patterns of aging. One of the problems we address is how to estimate a hazard function when only aggregated information on the lifetimes in the form of a lifetable is available. This problem affects the the estimation of oldest-old mortality which in turn plays an important role in the quantification of biological lifespan and longevity. We…
