where
lnmx,t is the observed log mortality rate at age x in year t,ax is the sample mean vector,bx is the first set of sample principal component,kt is the first set of sample principal component scores,ex,t is the residual term.

Lee-Carter model forecasts
1 There are a number of ways to adjust kt , which led toextensions and modification of original Lee-Carter method.
2 Lee and Carter (1992) advocated to use a random walk withdrift model to forecast principal component scores, expressedas
kt = kt−1 + d + et , (2)
where
d is known as the drift parameter, measures the averageannual change in the series,et is an uncorrelated error.
3 From the forecast of principal component scores, the forecastage-specific log mortality rates are obtained using theestimated age effects ax and estimated first set of principalcomponent bx .

Construction of functional data
1 Functional data are a collection of functions, represented inthe form of curves, images or shapes.
2 Let’s consider annual French male log mortality rates from1816 to 2006 for ages between 0 and 100.
3 By interpolating 101 data points in one year, functional curvescan be constructed below.

2 Assuming there is an underlying continuous and smoothfunction {ft(x); x ∈ [x1, xp]} that is observed with errors atdiscrete ages in year t, we can express it as
mt(xi ) = ft(xi ) + σt(xi )εt,i , t = 1, 2, . . . , n, (3)
where
mt(xi ) is the log mortality rates,ft(xi ) is the smoothed log mortality rates,σt(xi ) allows the possible presence of heteroscedastic error,εt,i is iid standard normal random variable.

Lee-Carter model Nonparametric smoothing Functional principal component analysis Functional time series forecasting
Point forecast
Because orthogonality of the estimated functional principalcomponents and uncorrelated principal component scores, pointforecasts are obtained by
fn+h|n(x) = E[fn+h(x)|I,Φ] = f (x) +K∑
k=1
βn+h|n,k φk(x), (9)
where
1 fn+h|n(x) is the h-step-ahead point forecast,
2 I represents the past data,
3 Φ = (φ1(x), . . . , φK (x)) is a set of fixed estimated functionalprincipal components,
4 βn+h|n,k is the forecast of principal component scores by aunivariate time series method, such as exponential smoothing.

Conclusion
1 We revisit the Lee-Carter model and functional time seriesmodel for modeling age-specific mortality rates,
2 We show how to compute point forecasts for both models.
