Description
Bayesian Demographic Estimation and Forecasting presents three statistical frameworks for modern demographic estimation and forecasting. These methods draw on recent advances in statistical methodology to provide new tools for tackling challenges such as disaggregation, measurement error, missing data, and combining multiple data sources. The approaches apply to single demographic series or entire demographic systems, unifying estimation and forecasting, and yielding detailed measures of uncertainty. The book assumes minimal knowledge of statistics and no previous knowledge of demography, making it accessible to a wide range of readers. A set of R packages implementing the methods is available, along with data and code for all applications in the book on
