Peak Life Expectancy Delta Speculation
Peak Life Expectancy Delta Speculation
- Speculating on the peak gain in life expectancy for each day survived.
Life Expectancy Delta
- On August 24, 2017, I speculated about the concept of "peak life expectancy delta."
- I explained that each day a person lives, their life expectancy moves out by a small amount because the pool of people who died at their exact age is dropped.
- I wondered when this daily gain in life expectancy peaks, and whether it ever reaches the order of hours rather than minutes.
These facts are as Randal recalls them, but much time has passed for most of this. If you find a factual error, please email realmerlyn@gmail.com.
