- Title
A note on the generation time.
- Authors
Hernandez-Suarez, Carlos M.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the calculation of the generation time, µ1, defined as the mean age of parents during reproduction. It references the book "Stage, Age and Individual Stochasticity in Demography," by H. Caswell, in which the use of matrix models for the computation of generation time is discussed. Furthermore, the information on the computation for the survival probabilities of parents can also be analyzed using Life tables and Matrix population models.
