Correction to: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-018-27415-z, published online 13 June 2018.
The Article contains errors in the Materials and Methods section under the subheading ‘Life table parameters’.
“The age-stage, two-sex life table method was used to analyze the raw data.”
should read:
“The age-stage, two-sex life table method1,2 was used to analyze the raw data.”
In addition, the sentence,
“Finally, the means, standard errors and variances of the population parameters were bootstrapped using the computer program TWOSEX-MSChart38.”
should read:
“The age-stage life expectancy (exj) was calculated according to Chi and Su4, while the reproductive value (vxj) was calculated according to Tuan et al.5 and Tuan et al.6. Finally, the variances and standard errors of the population parameters were estimated by using bootstrap technique embedded in the computer program TWOSEX-MSChart38,3.”
