Dear Section members,
I'm sure many section members learned about the Social Security Actuarial "expected remaining life tables"
One enters date of birth and gender
here's the link
https://www.ssa.gov/oact/population/longevity.html
rather than my own age and D.O.B.
I plugged in a fictitious Birthdate of January 1, 1960 for a male results in this table (attached as a jpg)
I have two questions
q1
Does anyone know whether confidence intervals are available somewhere?
| At Age |
Additional Life Expectancy
(in years) |
Estimated Total Years |
| 64 and 6 monthsa |
19.6 |
84.1 |
and
Q2
And its been a long time since we studied these in graduate school. I didn't find any citations in the tables themselves.
I believe the expected remaining life is computed using Chiang's methods?
