Understanding the effects of siblings on child mortality: evidence from India [PDF]
, 2006 Given the intrinsically sequential nature of child birth, timing of a child’s birth has consequences not only for itself, but also for the older and younger siblings.

A gravity model of mortality rates for two related populations
The mortality rate dynamics between two related but different-sized populations are modeled consistently using a new stochastic mortality model that we call the gravity model.

Forecasting Mortality Rate Using a Neural Network with Fuzzy Inference System [PDF]
Various methods have been developed to improve mortality forecasts. The authors proposed a neuro-fuzzy model to forecast the mortality. The forecasting of mortality is curried out by an ANFIS model which uses a first order Sugeno-type FIS.

Temporal mortality-colonization dynamic can influence the coexistence and persistence patterns of cooperators and defectors in an evolutionary game model [PDF]
Computational Ecology and Software, 2014 In the present report, the coexistence and persistence time patterns of Prisoners' Dilemma game players were explored in 2D spatial grid systems by considering the impacts of the mortality-colonization temporal dynamic specifically.

Optimal Annuitization with stochastic mortality: Piecewise Deterministic Mortality Force
This paper addresses the problem of determining the optimal time for an individual to convert retirement savings into a lifetime annuity. The individual invests their wealth into a dividend-paying fund that follows the dynamics of a geometric Brownian motion, exposing them to market risk.

Modeling Mortality: Empirical Studies on the Effect of Mortality on Annuity Markets.
Chapter 3 of the dissertation models the macro-longevity risk and introduces a stochastic model for human mortality rates. Chapter 4 analyzes the importance of mortality improvement and mortality risk (macro- and micro-longevity risk and parameter ...

Cancer rates over age, time, and place: insights from stochastic models of heterogeneous populations [PDF]
Individuals at the same age in the same population differ along numerous risk factors that affect their chances of various causes of death. The frail and susceptible tend to die first.
