Essential Demographic Methods London Harvard University Press 2014 288 pp 16 x 24 cm Essential Demographic Methods brings to readers the full range of ideas and skills of demographic analysis that lie at the core of social sciences and public health. Classroom tested over many years, filled with fresh data and examples, this approachable text is tailored to the needs of beginners, advanced students, and researchers alike. An award-winning teacher and eminent demographer, Kenneth Wachter uses themes from the individual lifecourse, history, and global change to convey the meaning of concepts such as exponential growth, cohorts and periods, lifetables, population projection, proportional hazards, parity, marity, migration flows, and stable populations. The presentation is carefully paced and accessible to readers with knowledge of high-school algebra. Each chapter contains original problem sets and worked examples. From the most basic concepts and measures to developments in spatial demography and hazard modeling at the research frontier, Essential Demographic Methods brings out the wider appeal of demography in its connections across the sciences and humanities. It is a lively, compact guide for understanding quantitative population analysis in the social and biological world. lemac 8285 Ciències socials Mètodes estadístics lemac 26 Estadística demogràfica popin 13949 DEMOGRAFÍA DEMOGRAPHY DEMOGRAFIA popin 1110 MÉTODOS ESTADÍSTICOS STATISTICAL METHODS MÈTODES ESTADÍSTICS popin 205 ANÁLISIS DEMOGRÁFICO DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS ANÀLISI DEMOGRÀFIC popin 212 MANUAL HANDBOOK MANUAL NoRevisat udc MO 1ª 0 0 0 0 CED CED 2026-08-27 Manual-WAC 20161729 2026-08-27 2026-08-27 MO
