Assumes 2 % coverage error in Mexican censuses, all years.

Death registration lower-bound coverage error estimates (males: 22 % in 1995, 16 % in 2000, 9 % in 2005; females: 9 % in 1995, 6 % in 2000, 3 % in 2005).

Death registration upper-bound coverage error estimates (males: 34 % in 1995, 29 % in 2000, 24 % in 2005; females: 29 % in 1995, 27 % in 2000, 24 % in 2005).
