With many baby-boomers entering retirement in North America, and with the increasing size of the aging population worldwide due to economic and social development, managing retirement income becomes an important question for the finance and insurance industry as well as for individuals. At the same time, corporations are stepping away from the standard “pensions" they have traditionally offered employees. As a result, individuals are responsible more often for managing the risks associated with securing their retirement income.

The surveys being developed by government, health and social science organizations have increased in complexity and as a result, the data that is collected is similarly more complicated. Thus, this project focuses on developing new tools to address issues which arise during the analysis of this complex data including longitudinal data, information which is based on a set of repeated observations of an individual, or group of individuals, over time.
