Mortality statistics for 25 populations of the larger Old World monkeys (members of the subfamily Cercopithecinae ) were evaluated with a competing hazard model of mortality. The best eight of these life tables were combined to generate a standard model life table representative of the mortality patterns of these primates. Two applications of the standard model to smooth, graduate, and compare life tables based on limited and defective data are presented.
