The researchers developed a new statistical model to study mortality data by age. Instead of using complicated models with many parameters, they used a simpler approach called local polynomial modeling. This model assumes a Generalized Poisson distribution for the number of deaths at specific ages, making it more robust. When applied to Indonesian mortality data, the model performed well, showing promise for accurately analyzing mortality trends.
