Título : Applied Mathematical Demography Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Keyfitz, Nathan ; SpringerLink (Online service) ; Caswell, Hal Editorial: New York, NY : Springer New York Fecha de publicación: 2005 Colección: Statistics for Biology and Health, ISSN 1431-8776 Número de páginas: XXVI, 558 p. 74 illus Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-387-27409-6 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Social sciences Ecology Biomathematics Statistics Environmental Demography Sciences Math. Appl. in Science for Life Sciences, Medicine, Health Science, Behavorial Education, Public Policy, and Law Mathematical Computational Biology Clasificación: 51 Matemáticas Resumen: The third edition of this classic text maintains its focus on applications of demographic models, while extending its scope to matrix models for stage-classified populations. The authors first introduce the life table to describe age-specific mortality, and then use it to develop theory for stable populations and the rate of population increase. This theory is then revisited in the context of matrix models, for stage-classified as well as age-classified populations. Reproductive value and the stable equivalent population are introduced in both contexts, and Markov chain methods are presented to describe the movement of individuals through the life cycle. Applications of mathematical demography to population projection and forecasting, kinship, microdemography, heterogeneity, and multi-state models are considered. The new edition maintains and extends the book’s focus on the consequences of changes in the vital rates. Methods are presented for calculating the sensitivity and elasticity of population growth rate, life expectancy, stable stage distribution, and reproductive value, and for applying those results in comparative studies. Stage-classified models are important in both human demography and population ecology, and this edition features examples from both human and non-human populations. In short, this third edition enlarges considerably the scope and power of demography. It will be an essential resource for students and researchers in demography and in animal and plant population ecology. Nathan Keyfitz is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Harvard University. After holding positions at Canada’s Dominion Bureau of Statistics, the University of Chicago, and the University of California at Berkeley, he became Andelot Professor of Sociology and Demography at Harvard in 1972. After retiring from Harvard, he became Director of the Population Program at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Vienna from 1983 to 1993. Keyfitz is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and the Royal Society of Canada, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He has received the Mindel Sheps Award of the Population Association of America and the Lazarsfeld Award of the American Sociological Association, and was the 1997 Laureate of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population. He has written 12 books, including Introduction to the Mathematics of Population (1968) and, with Fr. Wilhelm Flieger, SVD, World Population Growth and Aging: Demographic Trends in the Late Twentieth Century (1990). Hal Caswell is a Senior Scientist in the Biology Department of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, where he holds the Robert W. Morse Chair for Excellence in Oceanography. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He has held a Maclaurin Fellowship from the New Zealand Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship. His research focuses on mathematical population ecology with applications in conservation biology. He is the author of Matrix Population Models: Construction, Analysis, and Interpretation (2001).

Título : Statistical Demography and Forecasting Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Juha M. Alho ; SpringerLink (Online service) ; Spencer, Bruce D Editorial: New York, NY : Springer New York Fecha de publicación: 2005 Colección: Springer Series in Statistics, ISSN 0172-7397 Número de páginas: XXVIII, 412 p. 34 illus Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-387-28392-0 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Social sciences Epidemiology Statistics Population Demography Sciences Economics Statistical Theory and Methods Clasificación: 51 Matemáticas Resumen: Sustainability of pension systems, intergeneration fiscal equity under population aging, and accounting for health care benefits for future retirees are examples of problems that cannot be solved without understanding the nature of population forecasts and their uncertainty. Similarly, the accuracy of population estimates directly affects both the distributions of formula-based government allocations to sub-national units and the apportionment of political representation. The book develops the statistical foundation for addressing such issues. Areas covered include classical mathematical demography, event history methods, multi-state methods, stochastic population forecasting, sampling and census coverage, and decision theory. The methods are illustrated with empirical applications from Europe and the U.S. For statisticians the book provides a unique introduction to demographic problems in a familiar language. For demographers, actuaries, epidemiologists, and professionals in related fields, the book presents a unified statistical outlook on both classical methods of demography and recent developments. To facilitate its classroom use, exercises are included. Over half of the book is readily accessible to undergraduates, but more maturity may be required to benefit fully from the complete text. Knowledge of differential and integral calculus, matrix algebra, basic probability theory, and regression analysis is assumed. Juha M. Alho is Professor of Statistics, University of Joensuu, Finland, and Bruce D. Spencer is Professor of Statistics and Faculty Fellow at the Institute for Policy Research, Northwestern University. Both have contributed extensively to statistical demography and served in advisory roles and as statistical consultants in the field Nota de contenido: Sources of Demographic Data -- Sampling Designs and Inference -- Waiting Times and Their Statistical Estimation -- Regression Models for Counts and Survival -- Multistate Models and Cohort-Component Book-Keeping -- Approaches to Forecasting Demographic Rates -- Uncertainty in Demographic Forecasts: Concepts, Issues, and Evidence -- Statistical Propagation of Error in Forecasting -- Errors in Census Numbers -- Financial Applications -- Decision Analysis and Small Area Estimates En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/0-387-28392-7 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=35147 Statistical Demography and Forecasting [documento electrónico] / Juha M.

Organización de empresas Resumen: There has been, of late, a growing realisation that the pace and pattern of economic development of a country can hardly be understood and explained comprehensively in terms of the straitjacket of economics discipline alone. India is a prime example of the importance of the part played by a country's history, culture, sociology, and socio-cultural-religious norms, values, and institutions in its development process. This book, with its assorted essays of varying depths of scholarship and insightful reflections, attempts to drive home this point more forcefully than ever before. In its search for the non-economic roots of India’s overall sloth and murky progress in its broad-based economic and human development, the book illuminates major oddities deep inside a unique mental make-up full of perceptual and ideational dilemmas, many of which are arguably shaped by the long-lasting and dominant influence of what could be called the Brahminical lines of thinking and discourse. With India’s hazy and dodgy world of perceptions as a backdrop, the book also addresses – through its intelligent essays - the deep and sometimes dire ramifications of the historic advent and the dramatic advance of neoliberal market ideology today Nota de contenido: PART I: Quarrelling with Indian Perceptions -- Chapter 1: Quarrelling with Indian Perceptions -- Chapter 2: Dear, departed ones -- Chapter 3: ‘Dreaming Bengal’ -- Chapter 4: Reforming Babu’s Worldview -- Chapter 5: The National Library, Calcutta: A Reader’s Rendition -- Chapter 6: An Anatomy of Work Culture -- Chapter 7: Sketching Tagore as a Social Activist -- Chapter 8: India’s family planning programme: a muddle extraordinary -- Chapter 9: In Resurrection of Gunnar Myrdal’s Asian Drama -- PART II: Market, Media, and Development -- Chapter 10: On the Invasion of Neo-liberalism into Development Thinking -- Chapter 11: What education? -- Chapter 12: What is meant by ‘changing times’ after all? -- Chapter 13: Commodities, Comforts, and Chaos -- Chapter 14: Market, Media, and Mediocrity -- Chapter 15: Migration, Mediocrity and Misery -- Chapter 16: In the name of ‘accident’: India’s road traffic deaths and injuries? -- Chapter 17: The Demography of North-East India: Perilous Pluralism? -- PART III: Society, Culture, and Dilemmas -- Chapter 18: ‘Who is civilised’?

They define the expectations by which nations are judged and affect the policy of governments, corporations, and foundations. They have set the agenda in prosecutions at the International Criminal Court at the Hague, funding decisions by the International Monetary Fund, and corporate expansion programs by multinationals. Statistics is central to the modern perspective on human rights. It allows researchers to measure the effect of health care policies, the penetration of educational opportunity, and progress towards gender equality. The new wave of entrepreneurial charities demands impact assessments and documentation of milestone achievement. Non-governmental organizations need statistics to build cases, conduct surveys, and target their efforts. This book describes the statistics that underlie the social science research in human rights. It includes case studies, methodology, and research papers that discuss the fundamental measurement issues. It is intended as an introduction to applied human rights research. The editors of the book are Jana Asher, David Banks, and Fritz Scheuren. Jana Asher led the first national human rights survey in Sierra Leone and provided statistical support for surveys in Iraq, Kosovo, East Timor and Peru. She is the former Senior Program Associate in the Science and Human Rights Program at the American Association for the Advancement of Science. David Banks is a professor of statistics at Duke University, Fellow of the American Statistical Association, recipient of the Roger Herriott Award, and currently editor of the Journal of the American Statistical Association. Fritz Scheuren is the past-president of the American Statistical Association, a Fellow of the ASA, and Vice-President of Statistics at the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago.
