Estimation of Life Expectancy for Dependent Population in a Multi-State Context

Population statistics show that there was an increase in life expectancy during the last century. However, this fact hides that this increase was not equal for all groups of the population. One of the most problematic cases for measuring this increase is that of the dependent population because of t...
