Abstract Mortality rates differ across countries and years, and the country with the lowest observed mortality has changed over time. However, the classic Science paper by Oeppen and Vaupel (2002) identified a persistent linear trend over time in maximum national life expectancy. In this article, we look to exploit similar regularities in age-specific mortality by considering for any given year a hypothetical mortality ‘frontier’, which we define as the lower limit of the force of mortality at each age across all countries. Change in this frontier reflects incremental advances across the wide range of social, institutional and scientific dimensions that influence mortality. We jointly estimate frontier mortality as well as mortality rates for individual countries. Generalised additive models are used to estimate a smooth set of baseline frontier mortality rates and mortality improvements, and country-level mortality is modelled as a set of smooth, positive deviations from this, forcing the mortality estimates for individual countries to lie above the frontier. This model is fitted to data for a selection of countries from the Human Mortality Database (2019). The efficacy of the model in forecasting over a ten-year horizon is compared to a similar model fitted to each country separately.
不同国家和年份的死亡率不同,观察到的死亡率最低的国家随着时间的推移而变化。然而,Oeppen和Vaupel(2002)在《科学》杂志上发表的经典论文指出,随着时间的推移,最长国民预期寿命呈持续的线性趋势。在本文中,我们通过考虑任意给定年份的假设死亡率“边界”(我们将其定义为所有国家每个年龄段死亡率的下限),寻求利用特定年龄死亡率的类似规律。这一前沿的变化反映了影响死亡率的广泛的社会、体制和科学方面的渐进进展。我们共同估计边境死亡率以及各个国家的死亡率。使用广义加性模型来估计一组平滑的基线边界死亡率和死亡率改善情况,将国家一级的死亡率建模为一组平滑的正偏差,迫使个别国家的死亡率估计值位于边界之上。该模型拟合了人类死亡率数据库(2019年)中选定国家的数据。将该模型在预测10年范围内的效果与单独适用于每个国家的类似模型进行比较。

Abstract For the first time in 2018 the Italian Institute of Statistics (Istat) implemented the annual Permanent Population Census which relies on the Population Base Register (PBR) and the Population Coverage Survey (PCS). This article provides a general overview of the PCS sampling design, which makes use of the PBR to correct population counts with the extended dual system estimator (Nirel and Glickman 2009). The sample allocation, proven optimal under a set of precision constraints, is based on preliminary estimates of individual probabilities of over-coverage and under-coverage. It defines the expected sample size in terms of individuals, and it oversamples the sub-populations subject to the risk of under/over coverage. Finally, the article introduces a sample selection method, which to the greatest extent possible satisfies the planned allocation of persons in terms of socio-demographic characteristics. Under acceptable assumptions, the article also shows that the sampling strategy enhances the precision of the estimates.
摘要意大利统计研究所(Istat)于2018年首次实施了基于人口基数登记册(PBR)和人口覆盖率调查(PCS)的年度永久人口普查。本文提供了PCS抽样设计的一般概述,该设计利用PBR通过扩展的双系统估计器校正总体计数(Nirel和Glickman,2009)。样本分配在一组精度约束下被证明是最优的,它基于对过度覆盖和过度覆盖的个体概率的初步估计。它以个体为单位定义了预期的样本量,并对存在覆盖不足/覆盖过度风险的亚群体进行了过采样。最后,文章介绍了一种样本选择方法,该方法在最大程度上满足社会人口特征方面的人口计划分配。在可接受的假设下,文章还表明,抽样策略提高了估计的精度。

Fay-Herriot Model-Based Prediction Alternatives for Estimating Households with Emigrated Members 基于Fay-Herriot模型的移民家庭预测替代方案

Abstract This article proposes a new methodology for estimating the proportions of households that had experience of international migration at the municipal level in Colombia. The Colombian National Statistical Office usually produces estimations of internal migration based on the results of population censuses, but there is a lack of disaggregated information about the main small areas of origin of the population that emigrates from Colombia. The proposed methodology uses frequentist and Bayesian approaches based on a Fay-Herriot model and is illustrated by one example with a dependent variable from the Demographic and Health Survey 2015 and covariables available from the population census 2005. The proposed alternative produces proportion estimates that are consistent with sample sizes and the main internal immigration trends in Colombia. Additionally, the estimated coefficients of variation are lower than 20% for municipalities for both frequentist and Bayesian approaches and large demographically-relevant capital cities and therefore estimates may be considered to be reliable. Finally, we illustrate how the proposed alternative leads to important reductions of the estimated coefficients of variations for the areas with very small sample sizes.
本文提出了一种新的方法来估计哥伦比亚市级有国际移民经历的家庭比例。哥伦比亚国家统计局通常根据人口普查的结果对国内移徙作出估计,但是缺乏关于从哥伦比亚移徙的人口的主要小原籍地区的分类资料。所提出的方法使用基于费-赫里奥特模型的频率论和贝叶斯方法,并通过一个例子说明了2015年人口与健康调查的因变量和2005年人口普查提供的协变量。拟议的替代办法所产生的比例估计数与哥伦比亚的样本量和主要国内移民趋势相一致。此外,对于频率主义者和贝叶斯方法以及人口统计学相关的大型首都城市,估计的变异系数低于20%,因此估计可能被认为是可靠的。最后,我们说明了所提出的替代方案如何导致样本量非常小的地区的估计变异系数的重要减少。

Abstract In 2017, Pakistan implemented a long-awaited population census since the last one conducted in 1998. However, several experts are contesting the validity of the census data at the sub-national level, particularly in the absence of a post-enumeration survey. We propose in this article to use demographic analysis to assess the results of the 2017 census at the sub-national level, using data from the 1998 census, from all available intercensal surveys, including three rounds of Demographic and Health Survey. Applying the cohort-component method of population projection, we subject each five first-level subnational entities to estimates regarding the level of fertility, mortality, international, and internal migration derived from the analysis of the existing data. We arrive at approximately similar results as the census at the national level: an estimated 210 million (95% CI: 203.4–218.9) compared to 207.8 million counted (1.1% difference). However, we found substantial sub-national variations. While there are too many uncertainties in the data used for the reconstruction to be fully confident about them, this analysis should prompt the national and the international community to ensure that a post-enumeration survey and demographic analysis are regular features of census operations of Pakistan in particular, and in developing countries with deficient data as a whole.
摘要自1998年上一次人口普查以来,巴基斯坦于2017年实施了期待已久的人口普查。然而,一些专家对地方一级人口普查数据的有效性提出质疑,特别是在没有统计后调查的情况下。在这篇文章中,我们建议使用人口统计分析来评估2017年地方一级人口普查的结果,使用1998年人口普查的数据,以及所有可用的人口普查间调查,包括三轮人口与健康调查。应用人口预测的队列组成方法,我们对每五个一级国家以下实体进行了根据现有数据分析得出的生育率、死亡率、国际和国内移民水平的估计。我们得出的结果与全国人口普查大致相似:估计有2.1亿人(95%置信区间:203.4~21.89),而统计的数字为2.078亿人(差异1.1%)。然而,我们发现了大量的亚国家差异。尽管用于重建的数据存在太多不确定性,无法对其充满信心,但这一分析应促使国家和国际社会确保统计后调查和人口分析是巴基斯坦人口普查工作的常规特征,尤其是在数据不足的发展中国家。

Abstract Projection studies have often focused on mortality and, more recently, migration. Fertility is less studied, although even small changes can have significant repercussions for the size and age structure of future populations. Across Europe, there is no consensus on how fertility is best projected. In this article, we identify different approaches used to project fertility among statistical agencies in Europe and provide an assessment of the different approaches according to the producers themselves. Data were collected using a mixed-method approach. First, European statistical agencies answered a questionnaire regarding fertility projection practices. Second, an in-depth review of select countries was performed. Most agencies combine formal models with expert opinion. While many attempt to maximise the use of relevant inputs, there is more variation in the detail of outputs, with some agencies unable to account for changing age patterns. In a context of limited resources, most are satisfied with their approaches, though some are assessing alternative methodologies to improve accuracy and increase transparency. This study highlights the diversity of approaches used in fertility projections across Europe. Such knowledge may be useful to statistical agencies as they consider, test and implement different approaches, perhaps in collaboration with other agencies and the wider scientific community.
预测研究通常侧重于死亡率,最近则侧重于移民。对生育率的研究较少,尽管即使是很小的变化也会对未来人口的规模和年龄结构产生重大影响。在整个欧洲,如何最好地预测生育率并没有达成共识。在本文中,我们确定了在欧洲统计机构中用于预测生育率的不同方法,并根据生产者本身对不同方法进行了评估。采用混合方法收集数据。首先,欧洲统计机构回答了一份关于生育率预测实践的问卷。其次,对选定的国家进行了深入审查。大多数机构将正式模型与专家意见结合起来。虽然许多机构试图最大限度地利用有关的投入,但产出的细节却有很大的差异,有些机构无法解释不断变化的年龄形态。在资源有限的情况下,大多数人对他们的方法感到满意,尽管有些人正在评估其他方法,以提高准确性和增加透明度。这项研究强调了欧洲各地生育率预测方法的多样性。在统计机构考虑、测试和执行不同的方法时,这些知识可能对它们有用,也许可以与其他机构和更广泛的科学界合作。

Latent Class Analysis for Estimating an Unknown Population Size – with Application to Censuses 估计未知人口规模的潜在类分析——及其在人口普查中的应用

Abstract Estimation of the unknown population size using capture-recapture techniques relies on the key assumption that the capture probabilities are homogeneous across individuals in the population. This is usually accomplished via post-stratification by some key covariates believed to influence individual catchability. Another issue that arises in population estimation from data collected from multiple sources is list dependence, where an individual’s catchability on one list is related to that of another list. The earlier models for population estimation heavily relied upon list independence. However, there are methods available that can adjust the population estimates to account for dependence among lists. In this article, we propose the use of latent class analysis through log-linear modelling to estimate the population size in the presence of both heterogeneity and list dependence. The proposed approach is illustrated using data from the 1988 US census dress rehearsal.
使用捕获-再捕获技术估计未知种群大小依赖于捕获概率在种群中个体之间是均匀的这一关键假设。这通常是通过一些被认为影响个体捕获能力的关键协变量的后分层来完成的。从多个来源收集的数据进行人口估计时出现的另一个问题是列表依赖性,即个人在一个列表上的可捕获性与另一个列表的可捕获性相关。早期的人口估计模型严重依赖于列表独立性。然而,有一些方法可以调整人口估计,以考虑清单之间的依赖性。在本文中,我们建议通过对数线性建模使用潜在类分析来估计存在异质性和列表依赖性的种群大小。提出的方法用1988年美国人口普查彩排的数据来说明。

A simulation study of diagnostics for selection bias. 选择偏差诊断的模拟研究。

A non-probability sampling mechanism arising from non-response or non-selection is likely to bias estimates of parameters with respect to a target population of interest. This bias poses a unique challenge when selection is 'non-ignorable', i.e. dependent upon the unobserved outcome of interest, since it is then undetectable and thus cannot be ameliorated. We extend a simulation study by Nishimura et al. [International Statistical Review, 84, 43-62 (2016)], adding two recently published statistics: the so-called 'standardized measure of unadjusted bias (SMUB)' and 'standardized measure of adjusted bias (SMAB)', which explicitly quantify the extent of bias (in the case of SMUB) or non-ignorable bias (in the case of SMAB) under the assumption that a specified amount of non-ignorable selection exists. Our findings suggest that this new sensitivity diagnostic is more correlated with, and more predictive of, the true, unknown extent of selection bias than other diagnostics, even when the underlying assumed level of non-ignorability is incorrect.

由非响应或非选择引起的非概率抽样机制很可能会对有关感兴趣的目标群体的参数估计产生偏差。当选择是“不可忽视的”,即依赖于未观察到的兴趣结果时,这种偏差构成了一个独特的挑战,因为它是不可检测的,因此无法改善。我们扩展了Nishimura等人的模拟研究[国际统计评论,84,43-62(2016)],增加了两个最近发表的统计数据:所谓的“未调整偏差的标准化测量(SMUB)”和“调整偏差的标准化测量(SMAB)”,它们明确量化了偏差的程度(在SMUB的情况下)或不可忽略的偏差(在SMAB的情况下)假设存在一定数量的不可忽略的选择。我们的研究结果表明,与其他诊断方法相比,这种新的敏感性诊断方法与真实的、未知的选择偏差程度更相关,也更能预测,即使假设的不可忽略性水平是不正确的。

Abstract The occurrence of relaunches of consumer goods at the barcode (GTIN) level is a well-known phenomenon in transaction data of consumer purchases. GTINs of disappearing and reintroduced items have to be linked in order to capture possible price changes. This article presents a method that groups GTINs into strata (‘products’) by balancing two measures: an explained variance (R squared) measure for the ‘homogeneity’ of GTINs within products, while the second expresses the degree to which products can be ‘matched’ over time with respect to a comparison period. The resulting product ‘match adjusted R squared’ (MARS) combines explained variance in product prices with product match over time, so that different stratification schemes can be ranked according to the combined measure. MARS has been applied to a broad range of product types. Individual GTINs are suitable as products for food and beverages, but not for product types with higher rates of churn, such as clothing, pharmacy products and electronics. In these cases, products are defined as combinations of characteristics, so that GTINs with the same characteristics are grouped into the same product. Future research focuses on further developments of MARS, such as attribute selection when data sets contain large numbers of variables.
摘要在消费者购买的交易数据中,条形码(GTIN)级别的消费品重新推出是一个众所周知的现象。为了捕捉可能的价格变化,必须将消失和重新引入商品的GTIN联系起来。本文提出了一种方法,通过平衡两个指标,将GTIN分组为层(“产品”):一个是产品内GTIN“同质性”的解释方差(R平方)指标,而第二个指标表示产品在一段时间内相对于比较期的“匹配”程度。由此产生的产品“匹配调整的R平方”(MARS)将产品价格的解释方差与产品匹配随时间的变化相结合,从而可以根据组合的度量对不同的分层方案进行排序。MARS已应用于广泛的产品类型。单个GTIN适用于食品和饮料产品,但不适用于流失率较高的产品类型,如服装、制药产品和电子产品。在这些情况下,产品被定义为特性的组合,因此具有相同特性的GTIN被分组到同一产品中。未来的研究重点是MARS的进一步发展,例如当数据集包含大量变量时的属性选择。
