19. Fully Funded PhD Position in Actuarial Sciences
Summary of PhD Program:
This is a Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) financed project with a specific topic: Forecasting Mortality: Leveraging Cause-of-Death Data through Neural Network Techniques. So far, mortality forecasting involved time-series techniques using historical mortality. There exists however data on the causes of death which can also be used as predictor. Also, over the past years, improved forecasting techniques allowing for non-linear structures using machine learning tools have been developed. The aim of this thesis is to bring together all those components to understand the improvements that can be gained by their combination.
