mortality forecasting based on lee-carter model

thesis
abstract

over the past decades a number of approaches have been applied for forecasting mortality. in 1992, a new method for long-run forecast of the level and age pattern of mortality was published by lee and carter. this method was welcomed by many authors so it was extended through a wider class of generalized, parametric and nonlinear model. this model represents one of the most influential recent developments in the field of mortality forecasts. also, the important feature of this model is that for a precise value of the time index , we can define a complete set of death probabilities that allow us to calculate entries life table. these are some reasons for selecting the lee-carter model in our work. in this thesis we investigate the feasibility of the lee-carter model and two of the main extensions of this model, which are obtained by adding cohort (year of birth) effect, in forecasting mortality rate. we applied these three models on rasht mortality data (total, men and women) in order to find the best model and then use it to forecast rasht mortality rate for the next six years.

Understanding the Lee-Carter Mortality Forecasting Method

We demonstrate here several previously unrecognized or insufficiently appreciated properties of the Lee-Carter mortality forecasting approach, a method used widely in both the academic literature and practical applications. We show that this model is a special case of a considerably simpler, and less often biased, random walk with drift model, and prove that the age profile forecast from both a...

Identification and forecasting in the Lee-Carter model

We consider the identification problem for the model of Lee and Carter (1992). The parameters of this model are known only to be identified up to certain transformations. Forecasts from the model may therefore depend on the arbitrarily chosen identification scheme. A condition for invariant forecasts is proposed. A number of standard forecast models are analyzed.

Modeling and Forecasting Norway Mortality Rates using the Lee Carter Model

In the fields of actuarial science, health, epidemiology and national planning, mortality data is an important element. Mortality levels reflect the quality of life within quantity. Population forecasting is essential for all long term planning for the provision of services of a nation. Therefore, developing a model for forecasting mortality rate can facilitate a nation to develop their quality...

Testing for a unit root in Lee-Carter mortality model

Xuan Leng1 and Liang Peng2 Abstract. Motivated by a recent discovery that the two-step inference for Lee-Carter mortality model is inconsistent when the mortality index does not follow from a nearly integrated AR(1) process, we propose a test for unit root in a Lee-Carter model with an AR(2) process for the mortality index. Although testing for a unit root has been studied extensively in econom...

Bayesian Population Forecasting: Extending the Lee-Carter Method.

In this article, we develop a fully integrated and dynamic Bayesian approach to forecast populations by age and sex. The approach embeds the Lee-Carter type models for forecasting the age patterns, with associated measures of uncertainty, of fertility, mortality, immigration, and emigration within a cohort projection model. The methodology may be adapted to handle different data types and sourc...
