  4. 3. Application of a power-exponential function based model to mortality rates forecasting

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för utbildning, kultur och kommunikation

    Author : Andromachi Boulougari; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : De modellering van een wet of mortaliteit heeft een consequente interesse van een grote meerderheid van onderzoekers en vele modellen door de jaren is voorgesteld. The first aim of this thesis is to systematically evaluate a selection of models --- Modified Perks, Heligman-Pollard and Power-exponential --- to determine their relative strengths and weaknesses with regard to forecasting the mortality rate using the Lee-Carter model.

  5. 4. Nonlinear Regression of Power-Exponential Functions : Experiment Design for Curve Fitting

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Utbildningsvetenskap och Matematik

    Author : Tshering Denka; [2017]
    Keywords : Curve fitting; Power exponential functions; Design; Chebyshev node; Equidistant design;

    Abstract : This thesis explores how to best choose data when curve fitting using power exponential functions. The power exponential functions used are μ(b; x)=(xe1-x)b and Φ(ρ; x)=((1-x)ex)ρ . We use a number of designs such as the equidistant design, the Chebyshev design and the the D-optimal design to compare which design gives the best fit. READ MORE
