Stochastic Period and Cohort Effect State-Space Mortality Models Incorporating Demographic Factors via Probabilistic Robust Principal Components

Risks, 2017
In this study we develop a multi-factor extension of the family of Lee-Carter stochastic mortality models. We build upon the time, period and cohort stochastic model structure to extend it to include exogenous observable demographic features that can be ...

A linear algebraic method for pricing temporary life annuities and insurance policies [PDF]

, 2010
We recast the valuation of annuities and life insurance contracts under mortality and interest rates, both of which are stochastic, as a problem of solving a system of linear equations with random perturbations.

European guidelines from the EHTG and ESCP for Lynch syndrome: an updated third edition of the Mallorca guidelines based on gene and gender

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
Recommendations for clinical and molecular identification of LS, surgical and endoscopic management of LS‐associated colorectal cancer and preventive measures for cancer were produced. The emphasis was on surgical and gastroenterological aspects of the cancer spectrum.

A multi-country comparison of stochastic models of breast cancer mortality with P-splines smoothing approach

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2020
Background Precise predictions of incidence and mortality rates due to breast cancer (BC) are required for planning of public health programs as well as for clinical services.

Mortality Projections for Small Populations: An Application to the Maltese Elderly

Risks, 2019
In small populations, mortality rates are characterized by a great volatility, the datasets are often available for a few years and suffer from missing data.

A posteriori error estimation for stochastic static problems [PDF]

, 2014
To solve stochastic static field problems, a discretization by the Finite Element Method can be used. A system of equations is obtained with the unknowns (scalar potential at nodes for example) being random variables. To solve this stochastic system, the

Stochastic Epigenetic Mutations Influence Parkinson’s Disease Risk, Progression, and Mortality

Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, 2022
Background: Stochastic epigenetic mutations (SEM) reflect a deviation from normal site-specific methylation patterns. Epigenetic mutation load (EML) captures the accumulation of SEMs across an individual’s genome and may reflect dysfunction of the ...

Towards a Global Understanding of Tree Mortality [PDF]

Rates of tree mortality are increasing globally, with implications for forests and climate. Yet, how and why these trends vary globally remain unknown. Developing a comprehensive assessment of global tree mortality will require systematically integrating

Exchanging uncertain mortality for a cost [PDF]

, 2013
We analyze a pooled annuity fund from a participant’s perspective by comparing it to a mortality-linked fund, a type of variable payout life annuity, that gives a return linked to the force of mortality but subject to a cost.

Modelling stochastic bivariate mortality [PDF]

, 2006
Stochastic mortality, i.e. modelling death arrival via a jump process with stochastic intensity, is gaining increasing reputation as a way to represent mortality risk.
