Advances in mortality forecasting: introduction [PDF]
Mortality forecasts are essential for predicting the future extent of population ageing, and for determining the sustainability of pension schemes and social security systems. They are also useful in setting life insurance premiums, and in helping governments plan for the changing needs of their societies for health care and other services (European ...

Application of Machine Learning to Mortality Modeling and Forecasting [PDF]
Estimation of future mortality rates still plays a central role among life insurers in pricing their products and managing longevity risk. In the literature on mortality modeling, a wide number of stochastic models have been proposed, most of them ...

Estimating the term structure of mortality: an application to actuarial studies [PDF]
Insurance companies and pension funds which deal with human lifetime are interested in mortality forecasting to minimize the longevity risk. In this paper, we studied the mortality forecasting model based on the age-specific death rates by the usage of ...

Projecting Mortality Rates Using a Markov Chain
We present a mortality model where future stochastic changes in population-wide mortality are driven by a finite-state hierarchical Markov chain. A baseline mortality in an initial ‘Alive’ state is calculated as the average logarithm of the observed ...

Forecasting Mortality Rates with a Two-Step LASSO Based Vector Autoregressive Model
This paper proposes a two-step LASSO based vector autoregressive (2-LVAR) model to forecast mortality rates. Within the VAR framework, recent studies have developed a spatial–temporal autoregressive (STAR) model, in which age-specific mortality rates are
