The 1979 NCCI Remarriage Table

This is an account of the analytical work that eventuated in the table of the title. The problem and the available data are described, and several aspects of the analysis are dealt with in detail: historical studies of the data, the parametric model used to fit the data, the trend analysis that led to the final parameter values, and the population averaging carried out to fit the NCCI age distribution for claimants. A discussion of the actuarial valuation functions follows, including two never previously tabulated: the spouse's dowry and the automatic survivorship benefit.
