Nonparametric graduation techniques as a common framework for the description of demographic patterns
The graduation of age-specific demographic rates is a subject of special interest in many dis-ciplines as demography, biostatistics, actuarial practice, and social planning. For estimating the unknown age-specific probabilities of the various demographic phenomena, some graduation technique must be applied to the corresponding empirical rates, under the assumption that the true probabilities follow a smooth pattern through age. The classical way …
Graduating the age-specific fertility pattern using Support Vector Machines
A topic of interest in demographic literature is the graduation of the age-specific fertility pattern. A standard graduation technique extensively used by demographers is to fit parametric models that accurately reproduce it. Non-parametric statistical
Modeling fertility in modern populations
The age-specific fertility pattern has a typical shape common in all human populations through years. In order to describe this shape a number of parametric models have been proposed. Recently, the fertility pattern in developed countries exhibits a de
Expanding an abridged life table
A question of interest in the demographic and actuarial fields is the estimation of the age-specific mortality pattern when data are given in age groups. Data can be provided in such a form usually because of systematic fluctuations caused by age heapi
Differences Among School Outputs and Educational Production Functions
Schools produce multiple outputs, most obviously, the achievement of students in different subject areas. This article reports on a study of the differences between two academic subjects and the consequences of this differentiation for educational production functions. In examining the achievement of Greek ninth-grade students in physics and literature, I found that the influence of the students' background and of the inputs of the schools differ…
