Modeling and Forecasting Healthy Life Expectancy With Compositional Data Analysis
Available to Purchase
Demography (2025) 62 (3): 787–810.
Published: 01 June 2025
..., there is a clear rationale for forecasting healthy life expectancy (HLE). However, only a limited number of models are available to forecast HLE. We suggest two models to forecast health and mortality simultaneously and coherently. One model is based on the Sullivan method to estimate HLE, and the second one...
