Oral History Interview with Takei Lee
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Takei Lee. As a child, Lee and his family were forced by the Japanese to emigrate from Korea to Pohnpei, where they were promised a better life as sugarcane harvesters. However, the war slowed sugarcane production so much that his family was relocated to Saipan in 1942. During shore bombardments, some of his friends were killed by shells. Lee hid for seven days without food before surrendering to the Americans. As the Korean families were ordered out of their shared cave, some of the men, unable to understand the instructions were killed in the confusion. Lee was held at Camp Susupe until being returned to Korea. There his family lived in extreme poverty until the Korean War improved their circumstances

Lee-Carter mortality forecasting: a multi-country comparison of variants and extensions
Full text linkWe compare the short- to medium-term accuracy of five variants or extensions of the Lee-Carter method for mortality forecasting. These include the original Lee-Carter, the Lee-Miller and Booth-Maindonald-Smith variants, and the more flexible Hyndman-Ullah and De Jong-Tickle extensions. These methods are compared by applying them to sex-specific populations of 10 developed countries using data for 1986-2000 for evaluation. All variants and extensions are more accurate than the original Lee-Carter method for forecasting log death rates, by up to 61%. However, accuracy in log death rates does not necessarily translate into accuracy in life expectancy. There are no significant differences among the five methods in forecast accuracy for life expectancy.Functional data, Lee-Carter method, mortality forecasting, nonparametric smoothing, principal components, state space.
