In PPgp/wppExplorerBayesMig: Explorer of World Population Prospects with Probabilistic Migration

Description

This is a modified version of the wppExplorer package that allows you to interactively explore probabilistic population projections with migration uncertainty produced using the method by Azose et al. (2016) contained in the R package wpp2015BayesMig.

Details

Package:	wppExplorerBayesMig
Version:	0.2-1
Date:	2017-01-06
Depends:	R (>= 3.0.0)
License:	GPL (>= 2)

The main function of the packge is wpp.explore which opens an interactive interface in a web browser. A few helper functions are available for a fast access to the (possibly filtered) data, e.g. wpp.indicator.

Population and migration projections were produced using the Azose et al. (2016) methodology. All historical estimates as well as projections of fertility and mortality are from the World Population Prospects 2015, the United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division.
