Working With What We Have: How Can Existing Data Be Used In The Construction And Analysis Of Socio‐Demographic Matrices?1

Author

  • Richard Stone

Abstract

This paper outlines a general strategy for constructing socio‐demographic matrices, starting with a set of initial estimates based on available data and ending with a set of final estimates adjusted to meet the constraints connecting their true values. The method is described and illustrated by a numerical example taken from the author's current work on marital transition matrices. The figures relate to the male population of England and Wales in 1978 and are based on British official statistics of population numbers, births, deaths, migrations, marriages, widowhoods and divorces.
