Milliman consultants wrote a series of articles on first principles modeling for long-term care insurance. The series of articles covers a diverse set of topics, beginning with an introductory case study published in March 2016, continuing with separate installments on modeling of mortality and lapses later in 2016, and concluding earlier this year with a capstone article addressing the advantages and enhancements associated with first principles modeling. This article summarizes the key topics from that series.
