Much appreciated... I'll delve in to that shortly. I note that the UK national tables (data linked at https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulation ... 2019-06-07) are much easier to work with since the cohort tables are already calculated.See equation 6 in section 4 of this paper (the rest of the paper may be of interest as well): https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm ... id=3804555ps I still need to work out how to change the basic or period tables at https://mort.soa.org to cohort ones.
Let qa+t,R+t be the age a+t mortality rate in year R+t, where R is the reference year of the period table and t is the number of years for the projection. Then,
qa+t,R+t = qa+t,R * (1 - ga+t)t
where ga+t is the improvement rate for age a+t given by the projection scale.
Example:
-The age 65 mortality rate in the reference year 2012 (q65, 2012) from the 2012 IAM Basic Table – Male, ANB table is 0.009007
-The age 65 mortality improvment rate (g65) from the Projection Scale G2 – Male, ANB table is .015
-The age 65 mortality rate for the year 2024 (q65,2024) is given by:
q65,2024 = q65,2012 * (1 - g65)2024 - 2012 = .009007 * (1 - .015)^12 = .007513
Note, the farther out the projection (the higher the value of t) the less reliable the projection is.
cheers
