This data frame contains information about all Dutch who died
above age 92 years between 1986 and 2015. Observations are
doubly truncated and such bounds are calculated based on the
range of plausible values for these variables.
There are 226 records that are interval-censored and interval-truncated
for which bdate, ddate and ndays is missing (NA).
