single table instead of specifying them separately, with the age distribution
given for each sex (Table3.4).
This information can then be combined into a single distribution of the
proles, creating six age-sex intervals (Table3.5). Sampling from this joint
distribution using the equations given earlier would assign an entity a par-
ticular age and sex.
This idea can be extended to any number of characteristics. For example,
the three categories of disease severity could be added to Table3.5to describe
18proles of age, sex, and severity. Clearly, as more characteristics are ad
