Abstract

The objective of this work is to estimate the Bootstrap confidence intervals of proportions of factors associated with burials due to COVID-19, in the general cemetery of Riobamba - Ecuador, period March 2020 - April 2021. The Bootstrap method consists of carrying out re sampling with repetition, that is, obtaining samples through some random procedure that uses the original sample. In this way, vulnerable groups for burials due to COVID-19 have been identified, by sex, age and age according to sex. Regarding the vulnerability analysis of the groups, in terms of sex, the most vulnerable group is the male sex. In turn, within age intervals determined through life cycles, it was found that the most vulnerable group is known as older adults, which are people who are over 60 years old, for both the male and female sexes.
