报告摘要:In this study, we adopt the concept of hyperbolic memory to the spatial dimension and propose a hyperbolic STVAR (HSTVAR) model. In this talk, I showcase that, retaining all desirable features of the STVAR, our model uniformly beats the Lee-Carter model, the weighted functional demographic model, Spatio-temporal VAR and sparse VAR counterparties for forecasting accuracy, when French and Spanish mortality data over 1950–2016 are considered. Simulation results also lead to robust conclusions. Long-term forecasting analyses up to 2050 comparing the four models are further performed. To illustrate the extensible feature of HSTVAR to a multi-population case, a two-population illustrative example using the same sample is further presented.
