... processes is becoming increasingly apparent. Recently several demographers have taken advantage of the conceptual elegance and computational simplicity of matrix methods of population analysis. Their models, however, assume a “closed” population which is subject only to the processes of fertility...

For large samples, we here present: the eovarianee matrix (where defined) of the moment estimators, methods of obtaining maximum likelihood estimates and their eovarianee matrix, and the variances of estimates of specified moments of the feeundability of the sample, Results were obtained for three sets...

Recent efforts to express interregional population growth in matrix form, however, suggest a method for estimating the regime of growth of a multiregional system solely on the basis of historical data...

... is repeatedly applied to a vector of state probabilities (state occupancies). A deterministic or “macro-simulation” approach simply carries out a repeated application of the transition matrix. For a model with N states, this process requires an N  ×  N transition probability matrix. When there are a large...
