Project

Methods, Models, and Measures in Population Health

Kieron Barclay, Christian Dudel, Roland Rau, Mikko Myrskylä, Rasmus Hoffmann, Christina Bohk-Ewald (MPIDR / University of Helsinki, Finland); in Collaboration with Hector Pifarre i Arolas (Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona, Spain)

This project aims to develop and extend methods, models, and measures to enhance the quantitative analysis of population health data. The applications include rank-based measures of population health, mortality forecasts, and decomposition techniques.  Detailed Description
