Journal Article
Demography (1984) 21 (3): 373–381.
Published: 01 August 1984
...David A. Swanson; Lucky M. Tedrow Abstract The ratio-correlation method of population estimation is shown to contain an inconsistent temporal relationship between the model’s empirical structure and its actual application. A simple transformation of the model’s variables is provided that eliminates...

...Douglas L. Anderton; Joseph Conaty; Thomas W. Pullum Abstract Existing methods for estimating population parameters in settings of data deficiency do not provide techniques for analysis of commonly available longitudinal data. In settings where complete population data is unavailable, longitudinal...

Published: 01 May 1982
...Thomas J. Espenshade; Jeffrey M. Tayman Abstract This paper develops a methodology for constructing confidence intervals around postcensal state population estimates. Using regression equations, forecast intervals are derived around the average age-specific death rates over the postcensal...
Journal Article
Demography (1980) 17 (3): 341–343.
Published: 01 August 1980
...W. P. O’Hare Abstract Evidence which has emerged in the past few years indicates that the relative accuracy of population estimates derived from the ratio-correlation method and the difference-correlation method varies from state to state. In assessing the possible reasons why neither technique...

Demography (1976) 13 (3): 369–379.
Published: 01 August 1976
...William O’Hare Abstract A new method of making population estimates is introduced and contrasted to the standard ratio-correlation method. The new method, called the “difference-correlation method,” produced population estimates for the counties of Michigan which had a smaller mean percentage error...

Journal Article
Demography (1967) 4 (1): 262–272.
Published: 01 March 1967
...Donald S. Akers Summary The immigration component in national population estimates is comparatively small, but it is not insignificant and may indeed be an important source of error. Therefore, it warrants the considera-tion of those concerned with population estimates. The paper considers...
Journal Article
Demography (1973) 10 (2): 137–160.
Published: 01 May 1973
...Eugene P. Ericksen Abstract Past efforts of statistical demographers to compute postcensal population estimates for local units have been hampered by the fact that they have had to rely completely on symptomatic information. In this paper, a new method of postcensal estimation is presented in which...

Summary This paper reports the results of a test of the relative accuracy of the housing unit method in the estimation of the population...
Journal Article

Published: 01 February 1970
...Donald E. Pursell Abstracta The ratio correlation method of estimating county population may be improved with the use of dummy variables and stratification to represent county “type.” Unsatisfactory results were derived when the ratio correlation technique was applied to West Virginia counties...

Journal Article
Demography (1983) 20 (3): 407–413.
Published: 01 August 1983
...Stanley K. Smith; Bart B. Lewis Abstract The housing unit method of population estimation is often characterized as being imprecise and having an upward bias. In an earlier paper we argued that the method itself cannot be properly characterized by a particular level of precision or direction...

Published: 01 February 1982
...Marylou Mandell; Jeffrey Tayman Abstract This paper introduces an empirical indicator designed to measure the temporal stability of regression models used to produce subnational population estimates. Analysis of 67 counties in Florida centers on 1970 total population estimates generated from ratio...

It is pointed out that the ratio-correlation method of subnational population estimation has certain characteristic features that make...

...Mathew E. Hauer; Carl P. Schmertmann Abstract The primary fertility index for a population, the total fertility rate (TFR), cannot be calculated for many areas and periods because it requires disaggregation of births by mother’s age. Here we discuss a flexible framework for estimating TFR using...
