Multiple states models
  1. Section 8.1: In this chapter, we formulate the survival model as an example of a multiple state model. Then we introduce several other multiple state models which are useful
    1. Section 8.2: Examples of multiple state models. Multiple state models are one of the most exciting development, there are a natural tool for many important areas of practical interest to actuaries. They also simplify and provide a sound foundation for some traditional actuarial techniques.
      1. Section 8.2.1: We have modeled the uncertainty over the duration of and individual’s future lifetime by regarding the future lifetime as a random variable Tx, for an individual currently aged x, with a given cumulative distribution function
          1. We can represent this model diagrammatically. Our individual is in one of two states ‘Alive’ and ‘Death’. For convenience we label these states ‘0’ and ‘1’ respectively. Transition form state 0 to state 1 is allowed, as indicated by the direction of the arrow, but transitions in the opposite direction cannot occur. This is an example of a multiple state model with two states.
        1. Section 8.2.2: Term insurance with increased benefit on accidental death. This model has three states and we can define a continuous time stochastic process where Y(t) takes one of the three values 0, 1 and 2. This model starts by being alive, that is, starts in state 0 and at some future time, dies.
          1. Section 8.2.3: The permanent disability model. The next image shows a model appropriate for a policy which provides the benefits: 1. annuity while permanently disabled, 2. a lump sum on becoming permanently disabled, 3. a lump sum on death
            1. Section 8.2.4: The disability income insurance model. Disability income insurance pays a benefit during periods of sickness; the benefit ceases on recovery. The next image shows an appropriate model for a policy which provides an annuity while the person is sick with premiums payable while the person is healthy either when the person is becoming sick or dying.
              1. This model illustrates an important general feature of multiple state models which was not present for models. In terms of our interpretation of the model, this means that several periods of sickness could occur before death, with healthy periods in between.
