1. A cohort (or generation) life table is a record of the actual observed mortality experience for a particular group.
Example:
2. A period (or current) life table describes mortality and longevity data for a hypothetical (or “synthetic”) cohort, with the data computed.

3. In survivor analysis, the time lapse from the beginning of observation to the time of a terminating event is considered a survival time.
Example:
4. A survivor is a subject that successfully lasted throughout a particular time period.
Example:
5. The Kaplan-Meier method is used to describe survival behavior for some specific event, and it is based on varying survival time intervals for the terminating event being analyzed.
Example:
6. Survival times are censored data if the subjects survive past the end of the study or if they are dropped from the study for reasons not related to the terminating event being studied.
Example:
7. An abridged life table is a life table in which the age intervals have been combined, so the age intervals are longer than one year.
Example:
8.
Example:
9.
Example:
