A methodology for obtaining maximum likelihood estimates of life table regression coefficients from complex survey data is presented. Certain of the issues of writing a likelihood for survey data are presented and discussed. The proposed methodology includes consideration of the sampling design in any inference by using design based variance estimates for the parameters. An example is given using data from the 1973 United States National Survey of Family Growth.
