Demographic Relationships at the Macro Level
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.25336/P6Z614Abstract
The focus herein is on macro-level relationships in mathematical demography and regression analysis. Notions of vector space calculus are used in discussing the impact of nuptiality and fertility on the net reproduction rate and log-ratio techniques in the analysis of regression relationships involving compositions. The latter is illustrated using occupational data from the U. S. population census. The methods described herein permit using all the available information while the commonly used method, which replaces a vector by a summary measure, lets much of the flavor in the data slip away.Downloads
