For nearly 200 years actuaries, statisticians, and demographers have sought to summarize the age pattern of mortality rates by means of a limited number of parameters. Such “model schedules”; have also been useful in representing schedules of rates other than mortality. Model schedules may be used to summarize, analyze, compare, and fill in gaps in observed data. They may be used in forecasting and they also facilitate indirect estimation made on the basis of incomplete data. This paper illustrates a particular general functional form for such model schedules: the multiexponential function. It discusses the changing behavior of this function as its parameters take on different values and examines the quality of the fits of this function to observed data on mortality, fertility, and migration. |
