%0 Journal Article %A Daniel Theodore %T Projecting Longevity and Mortality Using Stochastic Models %D 2016 %J Special Issues %P 18-28 %V 2016 %N 1 %X The setting of assumptions for future mortality and longevity requires a new approach that recognizes and quantifies the risk of results varying from the best-estimated mortality and mortality improvement. Stochastic projections of future mortality rates help us to stratify and assign probabilities to the resulting scenarios. This article addresses the various types of volatility risk associated with longevity and mortality and describes a set of approaches that we have used in our modeling. %U https://guides.pm-research.com/content/iijspecial/2016/1/18.full.pdf
