ABSTRACT

Accurate estimates of future age‐specific incidence and mortality are critical for allocation of resources to breast cancer control programmes and evaluation of screening programmes. The purpose of this study is to apply functional data analysis techniques to model age‐specific breast cancer mortality time trends, and forecast entire age‐specific mortality functions using a state‐space approach.
