Evaluating Extensions to Coherent Mortality Forecasting Models

open access: yesRisks, 2017
Coherent models were developed recently to forecast the mortality of two or more sub-populations simultaneously and to ensure long-term non-divergent mortality forecasts of sub-populations.

Forecasting Mortality Convergence Up to 2100 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper presents life expectancy forecasts for all countries in the world explicitly assuming mortality convergence. We develop a model that takes into account country-specific heterogeneity in life expectancy historical trajectories, between ...

Life Table Prediction Using the Lee-Carter Model

open access: yesJournal of Actuarial, Finance, and Risk Management
<span lang="EN-US">Mortality is the state where all signs of life permanently, which can occur at any time after a person is born. Mortality data can be presented in the form of table called a mortality table, which is a table that provides an overview of the life of a population group starting from births at the same time and life of a ...

Digitizing collections to unlock the full potential of palynology: A case study with the Smithsonian palynology collection

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Large palynological collections have been built over decades and contain vital information. However, they are often difficult to access and use effectively. What is the point of having such collections if they are not fully utilizable? To solve this problem, we digitized the Smithsonian palynological collection using both light and confocal microscopy.

Hierarchical Lee-Carter model estimation through data cloning applied to demographically linked countries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Some groups of countries are connected not only economically, but also social and even demographically. This last fact can be exploited when trying to forecast the death rates of their populations. In this paper we propose a hierarchical specification of
