Mortality shifts and mortality compression. The case of Norway, 1900-2060

Keilman, Nico; Pham, Dinh Q.; Syse, Astri - 2018

Historically, official Norwegian mortality projections computed by Statistics Norway have consistently under-predicted life expectancy. The projected age distribution of deaths may be used to check if the official mortality projections are plausible. The aim of the paper is to verify whether the...

Changes in the age-at-death distribution in four low mortality countries: A nonparametric approach

Ouellette, Nadine; Bourbeau, Robert - In: Demographic Research 25 (2011) 19, pp. 595-628

Since the beginning of the twentieth century, important transformations have occurred in the age-at-death distribution within human populations. We propose a flexible nonparametric smoothing approach based on P-splines to refine the monitoring of these changes. Using data from the Human...
