Extract

1. It is some years since the application of sequential analysis to actuarial work was discussed in the Journal and the following paragraphs illustrate how the techniques may be used to help solve a current problem.

2. The data relate to the experience of one large office during the calendar years 1970–73. It corresponds to the returns made to the Continuous Mortality Investigation relating as it does to full premium business for assured lives at duration 2 and over. All the lives have been accepted at normal rates of premium and for convenience the two forms of acceptance (Medical and Non-Medical) have been combined.
