    This study introduces a novel mathematical procedure for simultaneously correcting multiple census counts and vital statistics. The method ensures consistency across demographic data, improving accuracy for population research.

    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Mathematical Statistics
    • Population Studies

    Background:

    • Accurate census data and vital statistics are crucial for demographic analysis and policy-making.
    • Inconsistencies between census counts and registered births/deaths can lead to significant demographic estimation errors.
    • Previous methods often struggle to simultaneously correct multiple data sources consistently.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel mathematical procedure for the simultaneous and consistent correction of multiple censuses and intercensal vital statistics.
    • To provide a robust framework for reconciling demographic data discrepancies.
    • To enhance the reliability of population estimates derived from incomplete or inconsistent data.

    Main Methods:

    • The procedure utilizes principles from finite-dimensional vector spaces.

  • It employs an optimization technique based on finding a unique point of minimum distance in a hyperplane.
  • Preliminary correction factors are iteratively refined to achieve final, consistent correction factors.

    • Main Results:

    • A new, consistent procedure for correcting multiple censuses and vital statistics is successfully developed.
    • The method was illustrated using data from the Republic of Korea (1970, 1975, 1980 censuses and 1970-1975, 1975-1980 vital statistics).
    • The derived correction factors are demonstrated to be optimal and consistent across the datasets.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed mathematical procedure offers a reliable method for simultaneously correcting demographic data.
    • This approach enhances the accuracy and consistency of population statistics, particularly in contexts with multiple data sources.
    • The findings have significant implications for demographic research, policy planning, and historical population reconstruction.
