Research report: Canadian Mortality Table Construction Alternative Methods – Generalized Additive Model and Neural Network Model

This report documents the researchers’ application of alternative methods to construct a new mortality table based on the same 2009–2019 industry data used in constructing the CIA2014 Table. The alternative methods presented in this report provide a model that can be used for further investigations. This includes projecting future, unseen tables, as well as directly modelling uncertainty of the constructed tables.
