In PPgp/wpp2015plusMig: Modified World Population Prospects 2015 Generated Using Probabilistic Migration

Description

Estimates from 1950-2015 based on the United Nations World Population Prospects 2015. Projections generated using a model for probabilistic migration introduced by Azose et al. (2016).

Details

Package:	wpp2015BayesMig
Version:	0.2-0
Date:	2017-1-27

The package contains the following datasets:

• pop, popproj, popproj80u, popproj80l, popproj95u, popproj95l, popprojHigh, popprojLow: historical estimates of total population counts, as well as the median, probability bounds and the high and low variants of population projections.

• popF, popM, popXprojMed, popXproj80u, popXproj80l, popXproj95u, popXproj95l, popXprojHigh, popXprojLow: age- and sex-specific population estimates and projections with X=“F” and “M”, including the median, probability bounds and the high and low variants.

• migration: total net migration historical estimates (from wpp2015 package).

• migproj, migproj80u, migproj80l, migproj95u, migproj95l: projection of net migration including the median and probability bounds.

• mrateproj, mrateproj80u, mrateproj80l, mrateproj95u, mrateproj95l: projection of annual net migration rate including the median and probability bounds.

• UNlocations: location dataset

Other population datasets, e.g. on the scale of proportions, available.

Note

These are not official UN projections. See the wpp2015 package for the latest UN projections.
