- The article argues that maximum age at death should be studied with Extreme Value Theory because it is an extreme value statistic. — Socio-economic constraints to maximum human lifespan
- The study fitted daily block maxima for each death cohort to a Generalized Extreme Value distribution using maximum likelihood. — Socio-economic constraints to maximum human lifespan
- The GEV shape parameter determines whether the fitted extreme-age distribution has a finite upper bound. — Socio-economic constraints to maximum human lifespan
- Most fitted GEV distributions were reversed Weibull distributions because estimated shape parameters were consistently negative. — Socio-economic constraints to maximum human lifespan
- Ordinary life-expectancy plots did not capture the strong expected maximum lifespan increases found by GEV analysis. — Socio-economic constraints to maximum human lifespan
