For each component emerging methods to forecast them are presented. Moreover, instruments for forecasting evaluation are provided. Bayesian models, nonparametric models, cohort approaches, elicitation of expert opinion, evaluation of probabilistic forecasts are some of the topics covered in the book. In addition, the book is accompanied by complementary material on the web allowing readers to practice with some of the ideas exposed in the book. Readers are encouraged to use this material to apply the new methods to their own data. The book is an important read for demographers, applied statisticians, as well as other social scientists interested or active in the field of population forecasting. Professional population forecasters in statistical agencies will find useful new ideas in various chapters. 410 0$aThe Springer Series on Demographic Methods and Population Analysis ;$v49 606 $aDemography 606 $aStatistics  606 $aDemography 606 $aStatistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Law 610 $aDemography 610 $aStatistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Law 610 $aPopulation and Demography 610 $aStatistics in Social Sciences, Humanities, Law, Education, Behavorial Sciences, Public Policy 610 $aPopulation forecasting 610 $aFertility 610 $aMortality 610 $aMigration 610 $aForecasting evaluation 610 $aSocial Media data 610 $aPopulation statistics 610 $aPopulation modelling 610 $aBayesian population models 610 $aOpen access 610 $aPopulation & demography 610 $aSocial research & statistics 615 0$aDemography. 615 0$aStatistics . 615 14$aDemography. 615 24$aStatistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Law. 676 $a304.6 700 $aMazzuco$b Stefano$4edt$01364686 702 $aMazzuco$b Stefano 702 $aKeilman$b Nico 801 0$beng 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910418324703321 996 $aDevelopments in demographic forecasting$93386207 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01859nam 22004093 450 001 9910154832203321 005 20230808200759.0 010 $a0-8348-4012-X 035 $a(CKB)3710000000972177 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6057659 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6057659 035 $a(OCoLC)961952584 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000972177 100 $a20210901d2016 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aEchoes $eThe Boudhanath Teachings 210 1$aBoston :$cShambhala,$d2016. 210 4$d©2016. 215 $a1 online resource (145 pages) 311 $a1-61180-302-0 330 $a"In a very intimate, informal setting, Thinley Norbu, one of the most articulate voices of Tibetan Buddhism, gives a no-holds-barred explanation of the challenges Westerners face in authentically learning, practicing, and transmitting Buddhism, highlighting both the obstacles and the way to navigate beyond them. In colorful, bustling Boudhanath--Buddhism's great pilgrimage site in Nepal--a group of Westerners gathered to speak with Kyabje Thinley Norbu Rinpoche about topics both mundane and sublime. This is the record of their lively dialogue. First published in an exclusive private edition some forty years ago, Echoes has now returned to reach a larger and broader audience who will be eager to share in this intimate exchange of questions and answers with a revered teacher"--$cProvided by publisher. 676 $a294.3/420423 676 $a294.3420423 686 $aREL007050$aREL007000$2bisacsh 700 $aNorbu$b Thinley$01245193 702 $aShakya Dorje 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154832203321 996 $aEchoes$92888092 997 $aUNINA
