A Mixture Model Incorporating Individual Heterogeneity in Human Lifetimes

2021-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Analysis of some extensive individual-record data using a demographically informed model suggests constructing a general population model in which the lifetime of a person, beyond a certain threshold age, follows an extreme value distribution with a finite upper bound, and with that upper bound randomized over the population. The resulting population model incorporates heterogeneity in life-lengths, with lifetimes...
