Age calculation templates. Wikipedia uses several templates that self-update every day to keep date and age information current. These are very useful for a dynamic online encyclopedia and save users from having to regularly update that kind of information. However, when using this kind of template, a few things should be kept in mind.
Whipple's index. Whipple's index (or index of concentration), invented by American demographer George Chandler Whipple (1866–1924), is a method to measure the tendency for individuals to inaccurately report their actual age or date of birth. Respondents to a census or other survey sometimes report their age or date of birth as a round number ...
In general, the two possible birth years should be written out as: 1950 or 1951. In contexts which are tight for space, the separator between the two possible years should be a slash: 1950/1951. To use the separator, add |slash=yes . Code: { {birth based on age as of date|50|2022|8|21|slash=yes}} Result:
The computed probability of at least two people sharing a birthday versus the number of people. In probability theory, the birthday problem asks for the probability that, in a set of n randomly chosen people, at least two will share a birthday. The birthday paradox refers to the counterintuitive fact that only 23 people are needed for that ...
This template calculates a person's current age based on a known age as of specified date. This is useful when a reference states a person's age at the time of the reference's publication. The age, year, and day must be supplied as natural numbers; month can be specified as a natural number as well as by name or abbreviation (e.g., "August" or ...
The Leslie matrix is a discrete, age-structured model of population growth that is very popular in population ecology named after Patrick H. Leslie. [1] [2] The Leslie matrix (also called the Leslie model) is one of the most well-known ways to describe the growth of populations (and their projected age distribution), in which a population is closed to migration, growing in an unlimited ...
Note that all parameters default to the current date, so for example, the second set of parameters can be left out to calculate elapsed time since a past date: { {Age in years, months, weeks and days |month1 = 1 |day1 = 1 |year1 = 1 }} → 2022 years, 10 months, 3 weeks and 5 days. Or simply, using the simpler parameter names, compatible with ...
Usage. The templates { { Birth year and age }} and { { Death year and age }} return a person's year of birth or death and their approximate age. The templates are useful when only the year, or year and month, of a person's birth and/or death are known, or if it is desired not to state a person's full dates of birth and death for privacy reasons ...
