The paper presents a reinterpretation of the model underpinning the Lee-Carter methodology for forecasting mortality (and other vital) rates. A parallel methodology based on generalized linear modelling is introduced. The use of residual plots is proposed for both methods to aid the assessment...

An enhanced version of the Lee-Carter modelling approach to mortality forecasting, which has been extended to include an age modulated cohort index in addition to the standard age modulated period index, is described and tested for prediction robustness. Life expectancy and annuity value...

We investigate the modelling of mortality improvement rates and the feasibility of projecting mortality improvement rates (as opposed to projecting mortality rates), using parametric predictor structures that are amenable to simple time series forecasting. This leads to our proposing a parallel...

The relative merits of different parametric models for making life expectancy and annuity value predictions at both pensioner and adult ages are investigated. This study builds on current published research and considers recent model enhancements and the extent to which these enhancements...

We investigate the feasibility of defining, modelling and projecting of (scaled) mortality improvement rates along cohort years-of-birth, that is, using a cohort perspective. This is in contrast to the approach in the literature which has considered mortality improvement rates that are defined...
