A Comparative Study of Parametric Models of Old-Age Mortality
نویسندگان
چکیده
Four mortality models: Gompertz, Makeham, Logistic and Coale Kisker models have been considered for a comparative study of OldAge Mortality for both male and female based on reliable data of ten countries. Sufficiently long run of reliable data selecting from ten countries: Australia, Hong Kong, Canada, England, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Poland, Singapore, United Kingdom have been used for this investigation. The main objective of this paper is to select the best fit mortality model from ages 85 onwards. Using the complete life table of ten different countries as input, the parameters of these mortality models have been estimated using Levenberg – Marquardt iteration procedure. The estimated parameters of these models have been used for the testing the validity of the models which could be used for the projection of mortality rates at ages. Matlab version 7.11.0 has been used for the estimation of the parameters. It is observed from our result that among the four models the four parameter logistic model and three parameter Coale Kisker give satisfactory results as the expected values are found to be very closed to observed data. The Gompertz model seems to be not suitable for prediction of old age mortality.

Abstract Background: Various studies have shown the age changes of menopause in Iran, in a relatively wide area, approximately from 46 to 51 years. This broad range of the changes can attribute not only to the essential difference between women of different regions, but could also be related to methodological problems. Because the model of menopause age could be estimated by cohort or a cros...

Background and purpose: Due to the difficulty of diagnosis, esophageal and gastric cancers have a special position in Mazandaran Province. Ïn this province, gastric cancer is considered to be one the most important causes of mortality therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the survival of patients with gastric cancer in Mazandaran. Materials and methods: Ïn this historical Çoho...
متن کاملA new parametric model to assess delay and compression of mortality
BACKGROUND A decrease in mortality across all ages causes a shift of the age pattern of mortality, or mortality delay, while differences in the rate of decrease across ages cause a change in the shape of the age-at-death distribution, mortality compression or expansion. Evidence exists for both compression and delay of mortality. Existing parametric models to describe the full age pattern of mo...
