Home Office : short term prison population projection model
Accurate forecasting of the prison population is essential for the future planning of the prison and probation services. This Thesis presents a new proposed model for short term prison number projection. The thesis was written in September 2004.

An analysis of some aspects of population projection
… awareness of existing problems created by rapid population expansion has resulted in systematic investigations of the characteristics of population growth. These investigations have produced methods for projection of future populations. Attempts have been made to project world population, but the …

Probabilistic Population Projection for Countries with Generalized HIV/AIDS Epidemics
Population projection has long been an issue for researchers, governments and international organizations so that they can monitor and plan development and resources. The United Nation Population Division (UNPD) publishes the World Population Prospects (WPP) every 2 years, giving estimates of past …

Simulating urban growth for Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area by coupling SLEUTH model and population projection
… approach, we predicted future county-level population (e.g., 2050) using historical population data and time-series forecasting. We then used future population projection of 2050, aided by strong population-imperviousness statistical relationship (R2, 0.78-0.86), to predict total impervious …

Probabilistic Models for Human Migration Forecasting and Residency Imputation
… populous countries, producing well-calibrated projections that reduce error rates compared to existing methods. This model is integrated into a population projection framework to forecast migration flows by age and sex, providing the first probabilistic forecasts of international bilateral …

Chapters from modeling mortality in Hungary
… and aims to support the development of the population projection model of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office. From the Lee–Carter model family, we have selected both those used to forecast mortality in a single population, and those used to study the mortality of different populations …

Demography of the spotted turtle (clemmys guttata) in Illinois
… no comprehensive demographic analysis of the two populations. I investigated the population size, structure, and demographic behavior of C. guttata populations at Lockport and Romeoville Prairie Nature Preserves by supplementing an existing dataset by conducting capture-mark-recapture in …

The analysis of internal migration in the United Kingdom using census and National Health Service Central Register data.
… rely on the NHSCR as an alternative measure of population movement. The value of the NHSCR in the analysis of migration and its suitability as an input to the procedure for projecting sub-national populations remains uncertain. This thesis examines the relationship between NHSCR and …

Spatially explicit humid heat stress projections in urban environments under climate change
… of a changing climate and increasing urban population as drivers of climate change, homes to urban populations and ecosystems, and hubs of potential to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Through their modification of the environment and unique dynamics, urban areas often experience …

Mark-recapture statistics and demographic analysis
Mark-recapture analysis of populations is becoming an important tool in population biology. Mark-recapture methods can be used to estimate transition probabilities among life-stages from capture histories of marked individuals for which stages can be determined at each sampling occasion. This …

Variations in health status of the elderly in Thailand
… at old age is one of the key concerns about population ageing in Thailand because older people are more frails. The differences in health status at old age between areas of residence, individual characteristics and time periods were investigated in this study. The variations of health in old …

An assessment of the feasibility of using administrative data in producing mid-year population estimates for South Africa
The production of mid-year population estimates is an important undertaking which informs various stakeholders in policy formation and decision making. For instance, national governments use mid-year estimates to allocate seats in parliament to various constituents and public health sectors use …

The ecological genetics of senescence and stress resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans
… determined by the ecological conditions during a population's recent evolutionary history, and are intrinsically linked to other components of life history and to fitness. These traits should be examined in an ecological context, in which other aspects of the life history are taken into account. …
