Age-specific demographic modeling and forecasting: Rolling window, expanding window, or both?
Sizhe Chen, Han Lin Shang
Rolling and expanding windows are widely used in age-specific demographic modeling and forecasting. Building on these approaches, we propose a simple combination method that assign…
Robust spatial scalar-on-function regression: A Fisher-consistent redescending M-estimation approach
Muge Mutis, Ufuk Beyaztas, Han Lin Shang
We develop a Fisher-consistent redescending robust estimator for the spatial scalar-on-function regression model, where a scalar response depends on both a functional predictor and…
Penalized spatial function-on-function regression
Ufuk Beyaztas, Han Lin Shang, Gizel Bakicierler Sezer
The function-on-function regression model is fundamental for analyzing relationships between functional covariates and responses. However, most existing function-on-function regres…
Mortality Models Ensemble via Shapley Value
Giovanna Bimonte, Maria Russolillo, Han Lin Shang +1
Model averaging techniques in the actuarial literature aim to forecast future longevity appropriately by combining forecasts derived from various models. This approach often yields…
Spatial Scalar-on-Function Quantile Regression Model
Muge Mutis, Ufuk Beyaztas, Filiz Karaman +1
This paper introduces a novel spatial scalar-on-function quantile regression model that extends classical scalar-on-function models to account for spatial dependence and heterogene…
Age-period modeling of mortality gaps: the cases of cancer and circulatory diseases
Giacomo Lanfiuti Baldi, Andrea Nigri, Han Lin Shang
Understanding and modeling mortality patterns, especially differences in mortality rates between populations, is vital for demographic analysis and public health planning. We compa…
