Description

We assume that death counts at age x are Poisson-distributed and the underlying population level hazard function follows a Gamma-Gompertz-Makeham model.

Contained entities

Poisson log-likelihood	$\log L=\sum _x[D(x)\log \mu (x)-E(x)\mu (x)]$
	$D$ represents death count
	$E$ represents exposure of an individual
	$L$ represents likelihood function
	$\mu$ represents risk of death
	$x$ represents age of a person
Poisson-distributed deaths	$D(x)\sim P(E(x)\mu (x))$
	$D$ represents death count
	$E$ represents exposure of an individual
	$P$ represents Poisson distribution
	$\mu$ represents risk of death
	$x$ represents age of a person
Gamma-Gompertz–Makeham law	$\mu (x)=\frac{a\exp (bx)}{1+\frac{a\gamma }{b}(\exp (bx)-1)}+c$
	$\gamma$ represents heterogeneity of death rate
	$\mu$ represents risk of death
	$a$ represents level of mortality
	$b$ represents rate of aging
	$c$ represents extrinsic mortality
	$x$ represents age of a person
