For example, Table III--1 gives for the Marshall Islands for the period 1955-1975 and Table TIIdata for the infant mortality rate for 1976. In Table III-1, the death rate per 1000 births for 1970 through 1975 is given as 28.3 dowever, Table III-5 indicates the ir 3 25.4, 46.4, 21.1 and 37.0. mortality rate to be only 17.04. We hawe used the data of Table IZI-i in the following estimates; because it is more complete and it provices a self-consistent set of data. However, in view of the discrepancies, a the results can only be considered as approximations. inemyorrien Enis puters makes little real difference in view of the uncertainties in the risx estimating. coefficients.” Thsre is also a bias built into the dats because of the inclusion of E»bye and Majaro in the overall Marshall Island rates.
