DEMOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES II

F&WECOL 850

Explores the application of demographic methods in the conservation and management of animal populations. Techniques explored include maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation, count-based models, mark-recapture models, occupancy models, matrix models, and sensitivity analyses. Emphasizes application of these models in conservation decision making.

C&ESOC/SOC 971

Advanced study of selected topics related to population and society, including health and inequality across the life course, environmental and spatial demography, biodemography.

SOC 674

Methods of measurement for enumeration and registration data; construction of life tables; measures of fertility, nuptiality and migration; examination of census variables.

SOC 376

Explores mathematical models of social process employing dynamical systems, Markov chains, and simulation analysis. Examples will address a wide range of sociological topics including cultural evolution, demography, social influence, social-network formation, religion, residential segregation, and social movements.

C&ESOC/SOC 997

Interdisciplinary training workshop on current research in population science from scholars at research and teaching institutions around the world.
