The method of expected number of deaths, 1786-1886-1986.
"The method of expected number of deaths is an integral part of standardization of vital rates, which is one of the oldest statistical techniques.  The expected number of deaths was calculated in 18th century actuarial mathematics...but the method seems to have been forgotten, and was reinvented in connection with 19th century studies of geographical and occupational variations of mortality.... It is noted that standardization of rates is intimately connected to the study of relative mortality, and a short description of very recent developments in the methodology of that area is included."
