This book visualizes mortality dynamics in the Lexis diagram. While the standard approach of plotting death rates is also covered, the focus in this book is on the depiction of rates of mortality improvement over age and time. This rather novel approach offers a more intuitive understanding of the underlying dynamics, enabling readers to better understand whether period- or cohort-effects were instrumental for the development of mortality in a particular country. Besides maps for single countries, the book includes maps on the dynamics of selected causes of death in the United States, such as cardiovascular diseases or lung cancer. The book also features maps for age-specific contributions to the change in life expectancy, for cancer survival and for seasonality in mortality for selected causes of death in the United States. The book is accompanied by instructions on how to use the freely available R Software to produce these types of surface maps. Readers are encouraged to use the presented tools to visualize other demographic data or any event that can be measured by age and calendar time, allowing them to adapt the methods to their respective research interests. The intended audience is anyone who is interested in visualizing data by age and calendar time; no specialist knowledge is required. This book is open access under a CC BY license. Hard cover.

Language: English. Brand new Book. The goal of this book is simple: We would like to show how mortality dynamics can be visualized in the so-called Lexis diagram. To appeal to as many potentialreaders as possible, we do not require any specialist knowledge. This approachmay be disappointing: Demographers may have liked more information aboutthe mathematical underpinnings of population dynamics on the Lexis surface asdemonstrated, for instance, by Arthur and Vaupel in 1984. Statisticians would haveprobably preferred more information about the underlying smoothing methods thatwere used. Epidemiologists likewise might miss discussions about the etiology ofdiseases. Sociologists would have probably expected that our results were moreembedded into theoretical frameworks.
