Cover Story: Mortality data inform about age-at-death distribution. Only a small portion of individuals reach very old ages. Longevity risk can be estimated using nonparametric methods without imposing parametric shapes. Conditional quantiles can be approximated to compute annuities for very old ages, evaluate portfolios, or perform long-term projections. View this paper.
