From Halley to Frailty: A Review of Survival Models for Actuarial Calculations
Giornale dell'Istituto Italiano degli Attuari

Abstract
Several contributions, which can be considered as landmarks in the evolution of survival modelling in actuarial mathematics, are focussed. The following topics are concerned: the development from deterministic to stochastic models, from an age-discrete to an age-continuous setting, from single-decrement to multiple-decrement models and to multistate models, from population homogeneity to population heterogeneity. Finally, the progress from static mortality to mortality projections is briefly addressed.
Keywords: Early actuarial models, Mortality laws, Multistate models, Heterogeneity, Mortality projections
