This text seeks to do exactly that, potentially improving policies, planning and understanding about migration processes worldwide, via the presentation of migration estimation and modeling techniques. These modeling techniques are explored from both frequentist and Bayesian perspectives. The vital concepts such as missing data and collection methods (and their possible harmonization) are discussed in depth, and there are whole chapters dedicated to bot 606 $aBayesian statistical decision theory 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xEmigration and immigration 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xEmigration and immigration$xStatistical methods 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xEmigration and immigration$xMathematical models 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xEmigration and immigration$xForecasting$xStatistical methods 615 0$aBayesian statistical decision theory. 676 $a304.8094 701 $aRaymer$b James$f1972-$01838183 701 $aWillekens$b Frans$0721269 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911020135203321 996 $aInternational migration in Europe$94417122 997 $aUNINA
