Abstract

The survival function with London’s of the force mortality as u[x] + 1 = B rt cx+t was approximated by applying the method of weighted least-squares on its log-transformation. Data from the IIAP proved that t = 20 to be the best approximate of the four t-values considered. The approximating equation is :

u[x] + 1 =(0.0009780659181781562)(1.085939181781562)t(1.086568300871862)x+t

The model was found to be inconsistent. Two selec models were made to fill the inconsistency of London’s model were as follows:

S(t:x) = exp{B(1-cx)[2-(rc)t1]-A(x=t)]}
