- The main lifespan model used in the article is gamma-Gompertz. — Modelling the age distribution of longevity leaders
- The gamma-Gompertz distribution was selected because it can capture mortality deceleration or levelling-off at the oldest ages. — Modelling the age distribution of longevity leaders
- The fitted model is compatible with plateau-like oldest-old mortality but does not prove that a mortality plateau exists. — Modelling the age distribution of longevity leaders
- The main model fixed the aging-rate parameter b at 0.09 to keep lifespan distributions realistic. — Modelling the age distribution of longevity leaders
- Gamma-Gompertz-Makeham was considered but the extrinsic mortality parameter was excluded from the fitted model. — Modelling the age distribution of longevity leaders
- A mortality plateau at extreme ages naturally leads to a gamma-Gompertz representation of oldest-old deaths. — Modelling the age distribution of longevity leaders
