Abstract

Statistical methods provide analytical methods to mathematically describe customer population life expectancy. While historical retirement activity is frequently studied to forecast customer retirement behavior, in some instances customer retirement experience is lacking so alternative methods are needed to develop customer retirement behavior. The study of customer renewal expectations provides an alternative method to describe customer retirement behavior and portray customer population life expectancy.
