Stochastic Process Model of Mortality and Aging: Application to Longitudinal Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two models for making population forecasts are presented and discussed. One of them is based on an analytical Gaussian solution of the Kolmogorov-Fokker-Planck equation and regression model for risk factor dynamics. The second is based on more general diffusion type stochastic differential equations. Numerical schemes for parameter estimation from longitudinal data and for forecasting are discussed for both.

Patterns of Aging Related Changes on the Way to 100: An Approach to Studying Aging, Mortality, and Longevity from Longitudinal Data
Objective. To investigate dynamic properties of age trajectories of physiological indices and their effects on mortality risk and longevity using longitudinal data on more than 5,000 individuals collected in biannual examinations of the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) original cohort during about 50 subsequent years of follow up. Methods. First we performed empirical analyses of the FHS longitudin...
متن کاملEffect of the APOE Polymorphism and Age Trajectories of Physiological Variables on Mortality: Application of Genetic Stochastic Process Model of Aging
We evaluated effects of the APOE polymorphism (carriers versus noncarriers of the e4 allele) and age trajectories of total cholesterol (CH) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) on mortality risk in the Framingham Heart Study (original cohort). We found that long-lived carriers and noncarriers have different average age trajectories and long-lived individuals have consistently higher levels and le...
متن کاملA New Nonparametric Regression for Longitudinal Data
In many area of medical research, a relation analysis between one response variable and some explanatory variables is desirable. Regression is the most common tool in this situation. If we have some assumptions for such normality for response variable, we could use it. In this paper we propose a nonparametric regression that does not have normality assumption for response variable and we focus ...
متن کاملOn Calibration and Application of Logit-Based Stochastic Traffic Assignment Models
There is a growing recognition that discrete choice models are capable of providing a more realistic picture of route choice behavior. In particular, influential factors other than travel time that are found to affect the choice of route trigger the application of random utility models in the route choice literature. This paper focuses on path-based, logit-type stochastic route choice models, i...
متن کاملApplication of a Statistical Model to Forecast Drowning Deaths in Iran
Background/aim: One of the indicators for measuring the development of a country is its death rate caused by accidents and disasters. Every year, many people in Iran are drowned for various reasons. The aim of this study was to predict the trend of drowning mortality in Iran using statistical models. Method: This research was a longitudinal study using time-series data of drowning deaths obta...
