Probabilistic mortality forecasting with varying age-specific survival improvements
Genus, 2017 Many mortality forecasting approaches extrapolate past trends. Their predictions of the future development can be quite precise as long as turning points and/or age-shifts of mortality decline are not present. To account even for such mortality dynamics,
