Mortality Density Forecasts: An Analysis of Six Stochastic Mortality Models
This paper develops a framework for developing forecasts of future mortality rates. We discuss the suitability of six stochastic mortality models for forecasting future mortality and estimating the density of mortality rates at different ages. In particular, the models are assessed individually with reference to the following qualitative criteria that focus on the plausibility of their forecast...
متن کاملCoherent Trends, Turning Points, and Forecasts for ACS Data
The American Community Survey (ACS) provides one-year (1y), three-year (3y), and fiveyear (5y) multi-year estimates (MYEs) of various demographic and economic variables for each “community,” although for small communities the 1y and 3y may not be available. These survey estimates are not truly measuring the same quantities, since they each cover different time spans. We present a metric to meas...
متن کاملCompositional analysis of topsoil metals and its associations with cancer mortality using spatial misaligned data
The presence of toxic metals in soil per se, and in soil impacted by mining, industry, agriculture and urbanisation in particular, is a major concern for both human health and ecotoxicology. The dual aim of this study was: to ascertain whether topsoil composition could influence the spatial distribution of mortality due to different types of cancer and to identify possible errors committed by e...
متن کاملCorrelation Analysis for Compositional Data
Compositional data need a special treatment prior to correlation analysis. In this paper we argue why standard transformations for compositional data are not suitable for computing correlations, and why the use of raw or log-transformed data is neither meaningful. As a solution, a procedure based on balances is outlined, leading to sensible correlation measures. The construction of the balances...
متن کاملNon-coherent Modelling in Compositional Fault Tree Analysis
The inclusion of NOT gates in a fault tree creates a “non-coherent” structure in which not only the failure of a component but also the negation of failure, i.e. the working state of the component, can contribute to the undesirable effects on a system. This type of non-coherent modelling remains controversial; its usefulness is still debated among academics, which explains why NOT gates have no...
