CMI library of mortality projections

The updated version of the user guide, version 1.3, documents the contents of the library.

The library itself is available in a series of zipped spreadsheets. Please note that Volumes 1 to 6 (inclusive) are unchanged from version 1.1 of the library; the additional projections in version 1.2 of the library are all contained in Volume 7:

• Volume 1 contains previously-published tables of projections (see section 3 and 5 of the user guide) 
• Volume 2 contains specimen adjusted interim cohort projections (see section 4 of the user guide)
• Volume 3 contains specimen P-Spline age-period projections (see section 6 of the user guide)
• Volume 4 contains specimen P-Spline age-cohort projections (see section 6 of the user guide) 
• Volume 5 contains specimen Lee-Carter projections (see section 7 of the user guide) 
• Volume 6 contains the additional projections from version 1.1 of the library
• Volume 7 contains the additional projections from version 1.2 of the library
• Volume 8 contains the additional projections from version 1.3 of the library

Please note that these are large documents and may take some time to download.

Volumes 1 to 6 (inclusive) are unchanged from earlier versions of the library; Volume 7 is essentially unchanged from version 1.2 of the library, but contains a correction to each of the four P-spline age-cohort projections setting the factors for age 120 equal to 1.000 for all years; the additional projections in version 1.3 of the library are all contained in Volume 8.
