The probability values for annual human mortality in Example 12.3.4 of the textbook were obtained from Murray and Lopez (1997) for the year 1990. Each probability was calculated by taking the number of deaths from each cause and location, and dividing it by the total number of deaths in that year.
Rather than partitioning the data between economically developed and underdeveloped nations, it can also be partitioned by more specific geographic regions. For example, Murray and Lopez (1997) divide the data into the following eight regions: (i) EME = established market economies, (ii) FSE = formerly socialist economies of Europe, (iii) IND = India, (iv) CHN = China, (v) OAI = other Asia and islands, (vi) SSA = sub-Saharan Africa, (vii) LAC = Latin America and the Caribbean, and (viii) MEC = middle eastern crescent.
This data, in terms of the number of deaths from each cause and in each region, can be downloaded from the link on the left. A useful exercise is to convert these data into probabilities as was done for Example 12.3.4 of the textbook. One can also explore the probability of death from each cause, conditional on the death occurring in each of the eight regions.
