Statistical demography and forecasting / Juha M Alho and Bruce D Spencer - New York : Springer, 2005 - xxvii, 410p, 23cm.

The accuracy of population estimates directly affecls both the distributions of formula-based government allocations to sub-national units and the apportionment of political representation. The book develops the statistical foundation for addressing such issues. Areas covered include classical mathematical demography, event history methods, multi-state melhods, stochastic population forecasting, sampling and census coverage, and decision theory. The methods are illustrated with empirical applications from Europe and the United States.
