Discretising Keyfitz' entropy for studies of actuarial senescence and comparative demography
1. Keyfitz’ entropy is a widely used metric to quantify the shape of the survivorship curve of populations, from plants, to animals, and microbes. Keyfitz’ entropy values < 1 correspond to life histories with an increasing mortality rate with age (i.e., actuarial senescence), whereas values >...
