Discretising Keyfitz' entropy for studies of actuarial senescence and comparative demography
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 5, Page 1312-1319, May 2023., 2023 Abstract 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.
