Chapter 12 page 32 Rationale:
If there is heterogeneity within the age groups or deaths are not independent, the variance will be (respectively) smaller or greater than we would expect if our underlying model were correct.
Could someone give a more detailed explanation?
I would have thought that were there to be heterogeneity within the age groups
this would imply a greater variance in the standardised deviations.
Any help much appreciated.
Many thanks.
