mortality forecasting based on lee-carter model
over the past decades a number of approaches have been applied for forecasting mortality. in 1992, a new method for long-run forecast of the level and age pattern of mortality was published by lee and carter. this method was welcomed by many authors so it was extended through a wider class of generalized, parametric and nonlinear model. this model represents one of the most influential recent d...
15 صفحه اولSpatial Analysis of Global Urban Extent from Night Lights
Previous studies of DMSP-OLS stable night lights have shown encouraging agreement between temporally stable lighted areas and various definitions of urban extent. However, these studies have also highlighted an inconsistent relationship between the actual lighted area and the boundaries of the urban areas considered. Applying detection frequency thresholds can reduce the spatial overextent of l...
متن کاملThe night the lights went out.
MIT, Harvard, and the surrounding areas lost power from 4:26 to 6:37 p.m. yesterday. The outage threw the Institute into darkness — classes were canceled, MBTA service was delayed, and police were dispatched to direct traffic. Emergency power remained on in dormitories and around campus. The problem is thought to be related to a transmission line in the area, said Michael Durand, NStar spokesma...
متن کاملDMSP/OLS night-time lights imagery and urban population estimates in the Brazilian Amazon
The Brazilian Amazon occupies 5 million km and comprehends the largest preserved and continuous tropical rain forest in the world: a forested area of approximately 4 million km. In the last decades, the region has experimented intense transformation processes both in the physical and human aspects. Deforestation studies estimated a rate of 25 400 km of forest conversion for 2001 to 2002 period ...
