Comparing Methods for Estimation of Daytime Population in Downtown Indianapolis, Indiana

Bell, Karen Denise 23 August 2011 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This paper compares two new methods for estimating daytime population against two existing models within downtown Indianapolis in Marion County, Indiana. The two existing models consist of the 2009 USA Daytime Population model created by ESRI and the LandScan Global Population Project developed by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A parking study of downtown Indianapolis, as prepared by the City of Indianapolis, Division of Metropolitan Development, is the basis of the first new method of estimating daytime population. The second method is a direct count of the daytime population using a methodology previously developed. Additionally, these four population estimates will be compared when applied to a scenario involving a hypothetical toxic gas plume.

Population estimation in African elephants with hierarchical Bayesian spatial capture-recapture models

Marshal, Jason Paul January 2017 (has links)
A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 2017. / With an increase in opportunistically-collected data, statistical methods that can accommodate unstructured designs are increasingly useful. Spatial capturerecapture (SCR) has such potential, but its applicability for species that are strongly gregarious is uncertain. It assumes that average animal locations are spatially random and independent, which is violated for gregarious species. I used a data set for African elephants (Loxodonta africana) and data simulation to assess bias and precision of SCR population density estimates given violations in location independence. I found that estimates were negatively biased and likely too precise if non-independence was ignored. Encounter heterogeneity models produced more realistic precision but density estimates were positively biased. Lowest bias was achieved by estimating density of groups, group size, and then multiplying to estimate overall population density. Such findings have important implications for the reliability of population density estimates where data are collected by unstructured means. / LG2017

The AIDS transition: impact of HIV/AIDS on the demographic transition of black/African South Africans by 2021

Matanyaire, Sandra D. January 2004 (has links)
Magister Scientiae - MSc / The first two official AIDS cases were diagnosed in South Africa in 1982. During the same period of the 1980s, the black/African population was experiencing an accelerated fertility decline, following a period of accelerated mortality decline. Demographers invoked the demographic transition theory to explain the observed mortality and fertility decline. According to the demographic transition theory, mortality and fertility rates would continue declining to low, post transitional levels with increasing modernization. The relatively higher prevalence of HIV/AIDS estimated among black/African South Africans is expected to alter their demographic transition. This research investigated the impact of HIV/AIDS on the demographic transition of black/Africans by 2021. / South Africa

County Level Population Estimation Using Knowledge-Based Image Classification and Regression Models

Nepali, Anjeev 08 1900 (has links)
This paper presents methods and results of county-level population estimation using Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) images of Denton County and Collin County in Texas. Landsat TM images acquired in March 2000 were classified into residential and non-residential classes using maximum likelihood classification and knowledge-based classification methods. Accuracy assessment results from the classified image produced using knowledge-based classification and traditional supervised classification (maximum likelihood classification) methods suggest that knowledge-based classification is more effective than traditional supervised classification methods. Furthermore, using randomly selected samples of census block groups, ordinary least squares (OLS) and geographically weighted regression (GWR) models were created for total population estimation. The overall accuracy of the models is over 96% at the county level. The results also suggest that underestimation normally occurs in block groups with high population density, whereas overestimation occurs in block groups with low population density.
