Abstract

El metodo de Feeney utiliza la misma informacion que otros similares (Brass, Sullivan, Trussell), es sencillo de aplicar y provee estimaciones de mortalidad infantil hasta 15 anos antes del censo o encuesta en que se recoge la informacion. Aunque considera cambios en la mortalidad, no precisa conocer la tasa de cambio. Las hipotesis del metodo son: a) tendencia lineal del descenso de la mortalidad infantil, b) comportamiento de la mortalidad de la poblacion de acuerdo a una tabla modelo, c) ausencia de mortalidad diferencial por edad de la madre. Empiricamente resulta que esas tendencias lineales se intersectan en la cercania de un punto, cuyas coordenadas estiman la tasa de mortalidad infantil y el numero de anos anteriores al censo. La aplicacion se realiza con datos provenientes de los censos de 1968 y 1973 en las islas Gilbert y Ellice
