Description: This paper deals with the level and age trajectory of mortality at advanced ages in Canada, based on population data.

Description: We describe our process of hand-curation of centenarian pedigrees and software that we developed for the automated construction of pedigrees.

Description: Presented at the Living to 100 Symposium, January 2011. This study explores increasing life expectancy by examining the basic properties of survival curves. Specifically, the author checks for signs of mortality compression, using a non-traditional approach. The results indicate that human longevity is likely to increase, at least for a while, and longevity risk should be seriously considered in pricing annuity products. Some suggestions for dealing with the longevity risk are also proposed.

Description: Discussion of the differences between aging and disease research and factors affecting longevity. Argues that elimination of most mortality risk will not create a dramatic increase in life expectancy.

Description: We suggest a new method of latent variable analysis and apply it for describing mortality changes in developed countries over the period of 1900--2014.
