Calculation of LTC Premiums based on direct estimates of transition probabilities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In this paper we model the life-history of LTC patients using a Markovian multi-state model in order to calculate premiums for a given LTC-plan. Instead of estimating the transition intensities in this model we use the approach suggested by Andersen et ...
