Q

µx force of mortality is defined as

A

= limh->0 (1/h) * Pr[T ≤ x+h | T>x]

= f(x) / S(x)

=S’(x) / S(x)

Q

What is the curtate future lifestyle (Kx) of age x

A

The integer part of Tx

17
Q

Pr[Kx =k]=

in p and q forms

A

=Pr[ k≤ Tx

=kpx qx+k

18
Q

curtate expectation of life ex is defined by

A

=E[Kx]

= A big complicated sum thing, see note.

19
Q

npx

in terms of lx

A

lx+n / lx

20
Q

dx in terms of lx

A

lx - lx+n

21
Q

nqx

in terms of d and l

A

ndx / lx

22
Q

µx in terms of S(x) or lx

A

= -S’(x) / S(x)

= - lx’ / lx

23
Q

n|mqx

in terms of lx

A

( lx+n − lx+n+m ) / lx

24
Q

What is initial rate of mortality

A

Prob a life aged x dies before age x+1

denoted qx

25
Q

What is central rate of mortality

A

Probability the population dies before age x+1.

Denoted mx.

26
Q

What is the relationship between initial and central rates of mortality.

A

qx x

27
Q

What 3 assumptions can we make for fractions of the year

A
  1. Linear
  2. Exponential
  3. Balducci (Hyperbolic)
28
Q

Why do we have select life tables

A

because the date of entry to a group affects mortality.

29
Q

what does [x]+t mean about a person

A

they joined at age x, and are now age x+t

30
Q

what is the select period

A

length of time after entry before a person experiences ultimate/global mortality.
