LIFE EXPECTANCY MODELING USING MODIFIED SPATIAL AUTOREGRESSIVE MODEL

Spatial-Temporal Autoregressive Dynamic Model

Although a myriad of methods have been advanced to tackle spatial and temporal structures in data separately, it becomes difficult to analyze these data using classical linear regression models when spatial-temporal structures coexist, especially when the data size is relatively large. In this article, we demonstrate a simple to implement method to handle spatial-temporal structures simultaneou...

Estimating life expectancy using an age-cohort model: a critique.

Estimating life expectancy using an age-cohort model in Taiwan.

OBJECTIVES Life expectation is a valuable summary index in public health and actuarial science. The life expectancies published in the vital statistics, however, are derived from the "current" rather than from the "cohort" life table. The former is based on a strong assumption of constant mortality in the population, whereas the latter calls for a recording of the mortality experience of a grou...

Regularized autoregressive model preserving spatial discontinuities for

Cet article traite de l’estimation spectrale locale à partir de signaux radio-fréquence obtenus en imagerie medicale par échographie ultrasonore. Du fait de la nature particulière des signaux RF (signaux aléatoires fortement bruités et nonstationnaires et présence de plusieurs milieux tissulaires), l’objectif principal est de régulariser l’estimation paramétrique locale tout en préservant d’éve...

Life Expectancy Index model and Risk Management

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Professor David Aldous, for being my undergraduate thesis advisor and for giving me the opportunity to apply the knowledge I have learned from a topic that is related to my future career. I have benefited from his guidance, great kindness and patience and I wish to give him a heartfelt thank you.
