This article proposes a neural-network approach to predict and simulate human mortality
rates. This semi-parametric model is capable to detect and duplicate non-linearities …

Modeling and forecasting of mortality rates are closely related to a wide range of actuarial
practices, such as the designing of pension schemes. To improve the forecasting accuracy …

Age-specific mortality rates are often disaggregated by different attributes, such as sex, state,
ethnic group and socioeconomic status. In making social policies and pricing annuity at …

Accurate forecasts and analyses of mortality rates are essential to many economic and
finance practices, such as the designing of pension schemes. Recent studies have …

The existence of long memory in mortality data improves the understandings of features of
mortality data and provides a new approach for establishing mortality models. The findings …

Cohort effects are important factors in determining the evolution of human mortality for
certain countries. Extensions of dynamic mortality models with cohort features have been …

Mortality projection and forecasting of life expectancy are two important aspects of the study
of demography and life insurance modelling. We demonstrate in this work the existence of …

It is well known that accurate forecasts of mortality rates are essential to various
demographic research like population projection, and the pricing of insurance products such …

Mortality improvements that have recently become apparent in most developing countries
have significantly shaped queries on forecast divergent between populations in recent …

The increasing life expectancy enhances the importance of mortality forecasting. Most
developing nations, including Tanzania, forecast mortality rates using static life tables …
