Conference on the Indirect Estimation of Migration

描述(申请人提供)：这次关于间接估计移民的方法的会议将在科罗拉多州召开，以聚集一个国际合作学者网络，以便在数据不充分、不完整或无法获得的情况下，对推断从一个地方到另一个地方的移民流动的新方法进行国际比较评估。“间接估计”一词在人口学中被用来描述推理技术，即根据可能只与某一变量的值间接相关的数据对该变量进行估计。随着未来从美国十年一次的人口普查中取消“长式”问卷，取而代之的是较小的连续月度抽样调查，研究美国领土流动性的学生有时会发现，有必要通过采用这种间接估计方法来处理不充分、缺失或可能不准确的移民“小样本”日期。将派代表出席拟议会议的国家有：澳大利亚、加拿大、意大利、美国、巴西、印度尼西亚和墨西哥。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This conference on methods for the indirect estimation of migration will be convened to bring together in Colorado an international network of collaborating scholars in order to launch an international comparative assessment of new methods for inferring place-to-place migration flows in settings where such data are inadequate, incomplete, or unavailable. The term "indirect estimation" is used in demography to describe inferential techniques that produce estimates of a certain variable on the basis of data that may only be indirectly related to its value. With the future elimination of the "long form" questionnaire from U.S. decennial censuses and its replacement by a smaller continuous monthly sampling survey, students of U.S. territorial mobility will at times find it necessary to deal with inadequate, missing, or possibly inaccurate "small sample" date on migration by adopting such indirect methods of estimation. The countries to be represented at the proposed conference are: Australia, Canada, Italy, the United States, Brazil, Indonesia, and Mexico.
