Description: Discusses the Canadian Institute of Actuaries' disability morbidity study to update the 1964 CDT and explains the techniques used to interpolate incidence rates from the 1964 CDT.

Description: These are presentation slides to supplement, Mortality Under Standard Individuality Life Insurance Between 1999–2002 Anniversaries from ARCH, January 2006.

Description: Provides an in-depth review of Canadian occupational mortality and morbidity - disability - experience. This includes population and insured data up to 1981.

Description: There are many investigations probing the relationship between health outcomes [such as mortality rate, fertility rate] and economic variables [such as rise in income] and other variables [such as level of education, availability of clean water]. Usually, these results are demonstrated using data from countries where economic conditions are improving over time along with health outcomes. This paper studies the links between health risks and the current economic conditions in Mexico where general mortality conditions improved during the period 1980-2000 but income fell.

Description: In this paper the author discusses the use of splines in graduation and offers a possible improvement of the graduation methods used for the English Life Tables. He offers some illustrations of his ideas. From ACTUARIAL RESEARCH CLEARING HOUSE 1980, VOL. 2.

Description: In this paper the author proposes a proof for new formulas that derive exposure formulas of the valuation-schedule type on the basis of the Balducci assumption. In addition he provides a short cut for the coefficients of the terms involving deaths. Then he derives a general exposure formula of the valuation-schedule type that may be used for all mortality studies with an observation period covering an integral number of consecutive years. From ACTUARIAL RESEARCH CLEARING HOUSE, 1980 VOL. 2.

Description: Shows how to use personal information such as medical history, family characteristics, etc. in a logical statistical fashion for the purpose of modifying an existing mortality table to reflect the collected underwriting information.

Description: This paper presents some preliminary results of an analysis of data from a regional municipality in Ontario to assess long term care risks. The data includes information on the optimal level of care at one or more points in time for each individual under study modelled using a Markov process.

Description: Presents a theoretical basis for a computerized methodology for estimating biological age - a measure of time to death.

Description: In this paper population mortality rates are used to explore the question of whether a biologically determined maximum age actually exists for the human species. From Actuarial Research Clearing House 1993, VOL. 3.
