Measuring high rise building stock
Published in Stephen Gruneberg, Global Construction Data, 2019
Apart from building age at a given time and the actual life span of a building can be found by simple calculation. Median survival time may be found by the KM method. Age-specific mortality and life expectancy can be found by the life table method. In addition to referring to the appendix, readers may wish to refer to Kleinbaum and Klein (2005) for details of the KM method, Aksözen et al. (2017) for its application in survival analysis of buildings and Johnstone (1993: 24–37), who derived and explained the life table method.

To further illustrate the proposed model’s effectiveness, we further provide the results from other methods of residual life prediction as comparative studies. Among the life prediction methods for human beings, regression analysis and life table are the two most commonly used methods. Regression analysis is a classical and straightforward statistical method to conduct prediction, especially for predicting with a large amount of data. The life table is a statistical table reflecting the death of a group of people (usually 10,000 people), compiled according to the age-specific mortality. The comparisons of the proposed model using multiple regression and life table are presented below.
Principles of Biostatistics

“Descriptive statistics, the topic of Chapter 2, are methods for organizing and summarizing a set of measurements.” Chapter 3 (Rates and Standardization) deals exclusively with measurements that assume only two values. Chapter 4 introduces the classical life table, one of the most important numericalsummary techniques available in the health sciences. “Life tables are used by public health professionals to characterize thewell-being of a population, and by insurance companies to predict how long individuals will live. In this chapter, the study of mortality begun in Chapter 3 is extended to incorporate the actual time to death for each individual, resulting in a more refined analysis.”
