Population estimates from longitudinal records in otherwise data-deficient settings.

    Summary

    This study introduces new models to estimate population parameters using limited longitudinal data, like genealogical records. These methods are crucial for demographic analysis when complete data is missing.

    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Statistical Modeling
    • Population Health

    Background:

    • Traditional methods for estimating population parameters often fail in data-deficient scenarios.
    • Longitudinal data from population subsets (e.g., genealogies) are frequently available but underutilized.
    • Existing techniques lack methods for analyzing this common type of incomplete longitudinal data.

    Observation:

    • Longitudinal data, such as event registers and genealogies, are often accessible even when complete population data is unavailable.
    • These records capture individual event times within specific measurement intervals.
    • Such data may also reflect population dynamics like migration and growth.

    Findings:

    • Novel models are presented to derive population parameters from available longitudinal data subsets.

  • Population parameters are estimated using the distribution of individual times to the first recorded event.
  • These estimated parameters serve as essential denominators for analyzing event occurrence rates.

    • Implications:

    • The developed models provide a method for demographic analysis in data-scarce environments.
    • They are particularly suitable for historical or incomplete datasets, accommodating migration and population growth.
    • Applications include enhancing demographic research using genealogical and similar records.
