Coherent forecasts of mortality with compositional data analysis
Demographic Research, 2017 Background: Mortality trends for subpopulations, e.g., countries in a region or provinces in a country, tend to change similarly over time. However, when forecasting subpopulations independently, the forecast mortality trends often diverge.

How the co-integration analysis can help in mortality forecasting. [PDF]
series of age-specific log-mortality rates as a sum of an independent of time age-specific component and a bilinear term in which one of the component is a time-varying parameter reflecting general change in mortality and the second one is an age ...
