Computing Health +Expectancies using IMaCh

+

(a Maximum +Likelihood Computer Program using Interpolation of Markov Chains)

+ +

+ +

INED and EUROREVES

+ +

June 2004

+ +
+ +

Authors of the program: Nicolas +Brouard, senior researcher at +the Institut +National d'Etudes Démographiques +(INED, Paris) in the "Mortality, Health and Epidemiology +Research Unit"

+ +

and Agnès Lièvre (PHD student at INED)

+ +

Contribution to the mathematics: C. R. +Heathcote (Australian +National University, Canberra).

+ +

Contact: Agnès Lièvre (lievre@ined.fr)

+ +

 Main publication concerning the method is +Lièvre A., Brouard N. and Heathcote Ch. (2003) Estimating Health Expectancies +from Cross-longitudinal surveys. Mathematical Population Studies.- 10(4), pp. 211-248 +

+ +

New installation method

+ +

Until June 2004 the installation did consist in a zip file which +had to be extracted in the directory of your choice. But with version +0.97b IMaCh we are using a windows installer (Inno setup). Both +executables imach.exe and gnuplot.exe (the grapher +that we are using) have to be on the same directory. + +
In order to facilitate the use of IMaCh we associated the .imach +extension to two features: editing and running. Thus by right clicking +on a foo.imach file you can either 'edit'the file (default) with +the notepad editor or 'run' it with gnuplot (you need a recent version).
+ + But we discovered that on some computers, people are not allowed + to modify the windows registry and need to have Administrator privileges. + +
+ Thus we built two windows installer: a standard setup which will install + the progam (usually in \Program Files\imach and will + modify the registry to associate .imach extension to notepad and imach, and a + second which will not alter the registry. With this second installer you + will be able to install the programs in your home directory and + run it by clicking on the imach.exe icon. But you won't be able + to use the facility of the right clicking. +

Our work is copyrighted as a GNU +software product, i.e. program and software can be distributed freely +for non commercial use, but actually some sources are not widely +distributed today because they borrow some codes from the book +"Numerical Recipes in C" which is copyrighted.

Today we are two developpers only but we already use a private CVS +server. The CVS server will be freely accessible as soon as we have +replaced "Numerical Recipes in C maximization routines" with +equivalent routines from the new GNU scientific library. + +

+Imach version (0.63 of 16 march 2000) can be downloaded in zip file http://euroreves.ined.fr/imach/imach.zip +
Imach version 0.64 May 2001 can be downloaded in zip file http://euroreves.ined.fr/imach/imach-0-64.zip +
+Imach version 0.8 March 2002 can be downloaded in zip file http://euroreves.ined.fr/imach/imach-08.zip +
+Imach version 0.8a May 2002 can be downloaded in zip file +http://euroreves.ined.fr/imach/imach-08a.zip +
+Imach version 0.96d February 2004 can be downloaded in zip file +http://euroreves.ined.fr/imach/imach-096d.zip + +
+Imach version 0.97b of June 21 2004 can be downloaded as a setup.exe file + +http://euroreves.ined.fr/imach/imach-0.97b-2-setup.exe. The IMaCh +program and gnuplot will be installed in the directory that you want +(usually in Program Files). We made some errors in the new setup and +some erlier versions did not work. Please check the md5sum which is +3cb42bf71396d531d4bc3d42fee46a52 imach-0.97b-2-setup.exe + +
We also changed the wordpad editor to notepad which is less useful +but exists on most Windows installation.
For people who are not +allowed to modify the registry of their Windows installation here is a +second setup imach-0.97b-2-noreg-setup.exe. +

+ +

There is a public mailing list of IMaCh's users. You can +subscribe by sending a mail to imach-users-subscribe@listes.ined.fr +(and unsubscribe with imach-users-unsubscribe@listes.ined.fr +
