The
advanced version of this software includes 10 demographic
lectures (see: example). Each lecture consists of a short description of a projection
experiment and an associated input data set. With this custom data
sets users can easily replicate the projection experiments in the
lectures. |
|
|
| |
The
lectures were not designed as a demographic curriculum or handbook.
They should rather encourage users to experiment with the software and
invent their own projection scenarios. We don't want to give answers
to demographic problems, but to initiate further investigation
by both students and professionals. The lectures provide examples
of what users can do with this software. In each lecture we have also
included suggestions for additional projection experiments. |

lectures cover the following topics: |
