Logit approximation according to Brass. R-code is supplied here. However, note that in recent times seemingly superior algorithms have been published (e.g. here or here). An overview with detailled instructions for calculating the life tables according to the different methods can be found here.

Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE). This was first proposed as an alternative to the aoristic method as implemented in mortAAR here. MLE has been also used for testing empirical and skeletal mortality curves (this as an answer to @nevrome ,here). Finally, MLE has been further used for estimating the distribution of skeletal age characteristics (here a recent article with older literature).
