September 30th, 2023Via: Mortality Watch:
Mortality Watch aggregates mortality data from multiple sources to generate daily updated mortality charts. Select from many jurisdictions and different chart types. The underlying dataset is now the largest and most detailed on the web. Data and calculations (R language) are open source available on GitHub. Crude mortality rate (CMR) is deaths per one hundred-thousand residents. Age Standardized Mortality Rate (ASMR) is calculated using the WHO2015, ESP2013, US2000 Standard Population and each jurisdictions 2020 age table. Caution: Excess Deaths are based on the baseline model, which may or may not reflect reality. For each country and type, pre-pandemic data is back tested to choose the baseline length with the lowest root mean squared error (RMSE) for a five to fifteen-year period for a three-year forecast.
