On the Adjustment of Mortality Tables; a sequel to former Papers on the same subject
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 August 2016
Extract
A method of adjusting mortality tables was originally devised by me expressly for the purpose of accomplishing the graduation of the Institute Tables of Mortality, which operation had been entrusted to me by the Experience Committee. The resulting adjustments proved to be very satisfactory, and a full explanation of the process adopted is given in the Institute of Actuaries' Life Tables and in the Journal of the Institute, vol. xv, p. 389.
