The aim of this project is to assess methods commonly used in the quantitative analysis of population-health data to determine the conditions under which their application is most suitable. We investigate, for example, Age-period-cohort (APC) methods, population-attributable-fraction methodology, and mortality forecasting methods. Detailed Description
