Estimation of parameters of the Makeham distribution using the least squares method
The Makeham distribution has been used to describe human mortality and establish actuarial tables. The hazard function is defined by μ(t)=A+BCt, we use the least squares type estimation to estimate the parameters of Makeham distribution in this paper. Seven cases are considered, when A, B, C are known or unknown, respectively. Also, we evaluated the mean square errors of these estimators.
