Abstract
Generalized inverse projection is able to produce estimates of the population sizes age distributions and vital rates derived from vital-event series of births and deaths and a terminal age distribution. This paper discusses some of the results obtained from the application of this method to the population of the town of Lucerne Switzerland from 1700 to 1930. It might also contribute to the discussion of the role that generalized inverse projection could play in the study of urban population development. (EXCERPT)
期刊介绍:
Historical Methodsreaches an international audience of social scientists concerned with historical problems. It explores interdisciplinary approaches to new data sources, new approaches to older questions and material, and practical discussions of computer and statistical methodology, data collection, and sampling procedures. The journal includes the following features: “Evidence Matters” emphasizes how to find, decipher, and analyze evidence whether or not that evidence is meant to be quantified. “Database Developments” announces major new public databases or large alterations in older ones, discusses innovative ways to organize them, and explains new ways of categorizing information.
