Description
The package implements a specialised iterative regression method for the analysis of age-period mortality based on a class of generalised Lee-Carter type modelling structure. Within the modelling framework of Renshaw and Haberman (2006), we use a Newton-Raphson iterative process to generate parameter estimates based on Poisson (or Gaussian) likelihood. In addition, we develop and implement here a stratified Lee-Carter model.
Details
The package contains methods for the analysis of a class of six different types of log-linear models in the GLM framework with Poisson or Gaussian errors that includes the basic LC model too. Also, this package includes tools for the fitting and analysis of the stratified LC model using an additional covariate (other than age and period). There are also made available some general diagnostic tools to analyse the data and the graduation results.
