In this piece in honour of Jim Vaupel I pull the veil from hidden heterogeneity. I show how the observed distribution of frailties changes in a cohort of newborns over the first month of life and quantify mortality selection and its impact on the age pattern of neonate mortality. Fully reproducible.
