Thus, the purpose of this study was to identify, measure, and estimate the population mortality ratios in Chile, mortality estimates are used to calculate life expectancy when constructing life tables. The Bayesian approach, specifically through Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) is employed to optimize parameter selection for these calculations. ABC corresponds to a class of computational methods rooted in Bayesian statistics that could be used to estimate the posterior distributions of the model parameters. For this research, ABC was applied to estimate the mortality ratios in Chile, using information available from 2004 to 2021. The results showed heterogeneity in the results when selecting the best model. Additionally, it was possible to generate projections for the next 10 years for the series analysed in the research. Finally, the main contribution of this research is that we measured and estimated the population mortality rates in Chile, defining the optimal selection of parameters, in order to contribute to creating a link between social and technical sciences for the advancement and implementation of current knowledge in the field of social structures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computation12080154","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,29]],"date-time":"2024-07-29T12:27:43Z","timestamp":1722256063000},"page":"154","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Bayesian Approach to Stochastic Estimation of Population Survival Curves in Chile Using ABC Techniques and Its Impact over Social Structures"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3025-1946","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rolando","family":"Rubilar-Torrealba","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Industrias, Universidad T\u00e9cnica Federico Santa Mar\u00eda, Valpara\u00edso 2090123, Chile"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0749-3808","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karime","family":"Chahu\u00e1n-Jim\u00e9nez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escuela de Auditor\u00eda, Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n en Negocios y Gesti\u00f3n Empresarial, Universidad de Valpara\u00edso, Valpara\u00edso 2361891, Chile"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2564-8770","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hanns","family":"de la Fuente-Mella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Estad\u00edstica, Facultad de Ciencias, Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valpara\u00edso, Valpara\u00edso 2340031, Chile"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0768-2134","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudio","family":"El\u00f3rtegui-G\u00f3mez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escuela de Periodismo, Facultad de Ciencias Econ\u00f3micas y Administrativas, Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valpara\u00edso, Valpara\u00edso 2373223, Chile"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"101805","DOI":"10.1016\/j.seps.2024.101805","article-title":"Fuzzy clustering of the healthy life expectancy decomposition: A multi-population analysis","volume":"92","author":"Alaimo","year":"2024","journal-title":"Socio-Econ.
