Array methods in statistics with applications to the modelling and forecasting of mortality
In this thesis we investigate the application of array methods for the smoothing of multi-dimensional arrays with particular reference to mortality data. A broad outline follows. We begin with an introduction to smoothing in one dimension, followed by a discussion of multi-dimensional smoothing meth...
