In recent decades, there has been a rapid development of demographic models
and methods and an explosive growth in the range of applications of population
analysis. This series seeks to provide a publication outlet both for high-quality
textual and expository books on modern techniques of demographic analysis
and for works that present exemplary applications of such techniques to various
aspects of population analysis.
Topics appropriate for the series include:
r General demographic methods
r Techniques of standardization
r Life table models and methods
r Multistate and multiregional life tables, analyses, and projections
r Demographic aspects of biostatistics and epidemiology
r Stable population theory and its extensions
r Methods of indirect estimation
r Stochastic population models
r Event history analysis, duration analysis, and hazard regression
models
r Demographic projection methods and population forecasts
r Techniques of applied demographic analysis, regional and local
population estimates and projections
r Methods of estimaion and projection for business and health care
applications
r Methods and estimates for unique populations such as schools and
students
Volumes in the series are of interest to researchers, professionals, and students in
demography, sociology, economics, statistics, geography and regional science,
public health and health care management, epidemiology, biostatistics, actuarial
science, business, and related fields.
The titles published in this series are listed at the end of this volume.
