Application of Multi-Bilinear Binomial Regression Model to Modelling Heterogenous Mortality Value
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Statistics
Abstract
A crucial component of mortality modeling is mortality forecasting, which aids in population projections and the calculation of longevity risk for the purpose of actuarial bond pricing. This study examines the Lee-Carter model in the context of diverse populations and suggests a multi-bilinear binomial regression model as an extension of the original model. The models were applied to death rates with a variety of features, and the outcomes were contrasted. The National Bureau of Statistics provided data on male mortality in Nigeria for the age group of five class intervals, spanning 25 years, which the article used for the analysis. Using Aikake Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) as measures of comparability, the suggested model outperforms the Lee-Carter model when applied to fit male mortality rates in Nigeria.
