Modeling Multigroup Populations

Focusing on population behavior, this book is structured into three parts: the first covers basic life tables and stable populations; the second offers a comprehensive exploration of multistate models; and the third delves into "two-sex" models, emphasizing the importance of incorporating both male and female behaviors. The text is designed to be calculable and interpretable, enhancing the study of social behavior. Four appendixes provide essential tools, including calculus and matrix algebra introductions, a symbol index, and exercise answers to deepen understanding.
