Machine Learning Techniques for Mortality Modeling [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Various stochastic models have been proposed to estimate mortality rates. In this paper we illustrate how machine learning techniques allow us to analyze the quality of such mortality models. In addition, we present how these techniques can be used for differentiating the different causes of death in mortality modeling.

Impacts of Climate Change on Mortality: An extrapolation of temperature effects based on time series data in France [PDF]

arXiv
Most contemporary mortality models rely on extrapolating trends or past events. However, population dynamics will be significantly impacted by climate change, notably the influence of temperatures on mortality. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to incorporate temperature effects on projected mortality using a multi-population mortality model.

Bayesian Modelling of Lexis Mortality Data [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
In this work we present a spatial approach to model and investigate mortality data referenced over a Lexis structure. We decompose the force of mortality into two interpretable components: a Markov random field, smooth with respect to time, age and cohort which explains the main pattern of mortality; and a secondary component of independent shocks ...

Hedging Pure Endowments with Mortality Derivatives [PDF]

arXiv, 2010
In recent years, a market for mortality derivatives began developing as a way to handle systematic mortality risk, which is inherent in life insurance and annuity contracts. Systematic mortality risk is due to the uncertain development of future mortality intensities, or {\it hazard rates}. In this paper, we develop a theory for pricing pure endowments

T2‐weighted imaging of rectal cancer using a 3D fast spin echo sequence with and without deep learning reconstruction: A reader study

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare image quality and clinical utility of a T2‐weighted (T2W) 3‐dimensional (3D) fast spin echo (FSE) sequence using deep learning reconstruction (DLR) versus conventional reconstruction for rectal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
