Integrating uncertainty in time series population forecasts: An illustration using a simple projection model
Abel, Guy J.; Bijak, Jakub; Forster, Jonathan J.; … - In: Demographic Research 29 (2013) 43, pp. 1187-1226
In this paper, we illustrate the application of Bayesian time series models to obtain future population estimates with uncertainty. The focus is on a simple projection model with the historical data representing population change in England and Wales from 1841 to 2007. The Bayesian forecasts to...

Bayesian Estimation of Hispanic Fertility Hazards from Survey and Population Data
Rendall, Michael S.; Handcock, Mark S.; Jonsson, Stefan H. - RAND - 2007
Previous studies have demonstrated both large efficiency gains and reductions in bias by incorporating population information in regression estimation with sample survey data. These studies, however, assume the population values are exact. This assumption is relaxed here through a Bayesian...

A new perspective on population aging
Sanderson, Warren C.; Scherbov, Sergei - In: Demographic Research 16 (2007) 2, pp. 27-58
In Sanderson and Scherbov (2005) we introduced a new forward-looking definition of age and argued that its use, along with the traditional backward-looking concept of age, provides a more informative basis upon which to discuss population aging. Age is a measure of how many years a person has...

Stochastic population forecasts using functional data models for mortality, fertility and migration
Hyndman, Rob J; Booth, Heather - Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics, … - 2006
Age-sex-specific population forecasts are derived through stochastic population renewal using forecasts of mortality, fertility and net migration. Functional data models with time series coefficients are used to model age-specific mortality and fertility rates. As detailed migration data are...
