Forecasting Mortality Rates: Unveiling Patterns with a PCA-GEE Approach
Reza Dastranj, Martin Kolar
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a widely used technique in exploratory data analysis, visualization, and data preprocessing, leveraging the concept of variance to identify ke…
Mortality Modelling using Generalized Estimating Equations
Reza Dastranj, Martin Kolar
This paper presents an application of Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) for analyzing age-specific death rates (ASDRs), constituting a longitudinal dataset with repeated measu…
Mortality Forecasting with Generalized Additive Mixed Models
Reza Dastranj, Martin Kolar
This study introduces a novel generalized additive mixed model (GAMM) for mortality modelling, utilizing the mortality covariate as proposed by Dastranj-Kolar. Our findings i…
Forecasting Mortality Rates: A Linear Mixed-Effects Model
Reza Dastranj, Martin Kolar
A linear mixed-effects (LME) model is proposed for modelling and forecasting single and multi-population age-specific death rates (ASDRs). The innovative approach that we take in t…
