Computing Health +Expectancies using IMaCh

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

+ +

INED and EUROREVES

+ +

February 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 +

+ +

Installation

+ +

Since the program produces many output files, we suggest to +have a separate directory for imach.
+

+ +

Uncompress the zip file imach.zip + into an empty directory, imach, for + example.
Different sub-directories are created:
- doc: most of the documentation. The main document + is doc/imach.htm .
- bin:
  - imach.exe the + executable for Windows 95/98/NT compiled + with gcc from cygwin.
  - graph.gp: an output file which is used by + the grapher, gnuplot, described next:
  +
- data: Here are two data files:
  - data1.txt + which is the main data file on which the + program has been run as the example in + the main documentation.
  - mydata.txt a + smaller data file which you can use for + your own trial.
  +
- mytry: A sub-directory to try your self. The + imach program outputs its results as text + files (tables) but also images + (actually in gif format) which are obtained in a + second step by running gnuplot (see below) on a + gnuplot command file named 'graph.gp' but also a + single html file 'index.htm' which can be clicked + to summarize your run.
- src: This subdirectory contains the source of the + program. It can be obtained by asking us by mail mailto:brouard@ined.fr + and mailto:lievre@ined.fr + .
- gp37mgw: This is the + directory of the gnuplot software. Gnuplot for + Unix or Windows 95/98/NT/2K/XP can be accessed freely + with its reference manual from http://www.gnuplot.info/. + The latest version, recently ported to windows, + has been included in imach.zip.
+
Click on the imach.exe icon to open a window and run the + program.
Read the file README.txt or, better, click on doc/imach.htm

This software have been partly granted by Euro-REVES, a concerted +action from the European Union. 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 code from the book "Numerical Recipes in C" which is copyrighted. If you are an owner of theses sources you can get our source by asking us with +a simple justification (name, email, Institute) mailto:imach-dev@listes.ined.fr

+ +

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. + +

New (March 2002). We set up 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 +
