Understanding and Applying the Lee-Carter Model for Mortality Forecasting
Introduction to the Lee-Carter Model The Lee-Carter model is a parametric method used for forecasting age-specific mortality rates. It was developed by Robert F. Lee and David Tjaldini Carter in 1992 as an extension of the classical cohort component life table approach. The model uses age-specific death rates to estimate the future population distribution, with the ultimate goal of predicting mortality rates. Understanding the Lee-Carter Model The basic components of the Lee-Carter model are:
