Modeling and Forecasting Norway Mortality Rates using the Lee Carter Model
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In the fields of actuarial science, health, epidemiology and national planning, mortality data is an important element. Mortality levels reflect the quality of life within quantity. Population forecasting is essential for all long term planning for the provision of services of a nation. Therefore, developing a model for forecasting mortality rate can facilitate a nation to develop their quality of life [1].

Lee-Carter mortality forecasting: a multi-country comparison of variants and extensions
We compare the shortto mediumterm accuracy of five variants or extensions of the LeeCarter method for mortality forecasting. These include the original Lee-Carter, the Lee-Miller and Booth-Maindonald-Smith variants, and the more flexible Hyndman-Ullah and De Jong-Tickle extensions. These methods are compared by applying them to sex-specific populations of 10 developed countries using data for 1...
متن کاملPredicting Human Mortality: Quantitative Evaluation of Four Stochastic Models
In this paper, we quantitatively compare the forecasts from four different mortality models. We consider one discrete-time model proposed by Lee and Carter (1992) and three continuous-time models: the Wills and Sherris (2011) model, the Feller process and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process. The first two models estimate the whole surface of mortality simultaneously, while in the latter two, ea...
متن کاملA comparison of ten principal component methods for forecasting mortality rates
Using the ageand sex-specific data of 14 developed countries, we compare the shortto medium-term accuracy of ten principal component methods for forecasting mortality rates and life expectancy. These ten methods include the Lee-Carter method and many of its variants and extensions. For forecasting mortality rates, the weighted Hyndman-Ullah method provides the most accurate point forecasts, whi...
متن کاملProspective life tables
Prospective life tables depend on forecasting age-specific mortality. Considerable attention has 2 been paid to methods for forecasting mortality in recent years. Much of this work has grown 3 out of the seminal Lee-Carter method (Lee & Carter 1992). Other extrapolative approaches 4 use Bayesian modelling, generalized linear modelling and state-space approaches. Methods for 5 forecasting mortal...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Lee-Carter Mortality Forecasting Method
We demonstrate here several previously unrecognized or insufficiently appreciated properties of the Lee-Carter mortality forecasting approach, a method used widely in both the academic literature and practical applications. We show that this model is a special case of a considerably simpler, and less often biased, random walk with drift model, and prove that the age profile forecast from both a...
