• Abstract: There have been significant efforts devoted to solving the longevity risk given that a continuous growth in population ageing has become a severe issue for many developed countries over the past few decades. The Cairns-Blake-Dowd (CBD) model, which incorporates cohort effects parameters in its parsimonious design, is one of the most well-known approaches for mortality modelling at higher ages and longevity risk. This article proposes a novel mixed-effects time-series approach for mortality modelling and forecasting with considerations of age groups dependence and random cohort effects parameters. The proposed model can disclose more mortality data information and provide a natural quantification of the model parameters uncertainties with no pre-specified constraint required for estimating the cohort effects parameters. The abilities of the proposed approach are demonstrated through two applications with empirical male and female mortality data. The proposed approach shows remarkable improvements in terms of forecast accuracy compared to the CBD model in the short-, mid-and long-term forecasting using mortality data of several developed countries in the numerical examples.

  Short-term forecasts of infectious disease spread are a critical component in risk evaluation and public health decision making. We compare short-term probabilistic forecasts of popular mechanistic models with forecasts of statistical time series models. We find that, on average, probabilistic forecasts from statistical time series models are overall at least as accurate as forecasts from mechanistic models.

  We propose a generative time-to-event model, SurvLatent ODE, which parameterizes a latent representation under irregularly sampled data. Our model then utilizes the latent representation to flexibly estimate survival times for multiple competing events without specifying shapes of event-specific hazard function. SurvLatent ODE outperforms the current clinical standard Khorana Risk scores for stratifying DVT risk groups.
