Some longitudinal data on internal migration

A New Nonparametric Regression for Longitudinal Data

In many area of medical research, a relation analysis between one response variable and some explanatory variables is desirable. Regression is the most common tool in this situation. If we have some assumptions for such normality for response variable, we could use it. In this paper we propose a nonparametric regression that does not have normality assumption for response variable and we focus ...

Conditional Dependence in Longitudinal Data Analysis

Mixed models are widely used to analyze longitudinal data. In their conventional formulation as linear mixed models (LMMs) and generalized LMMs (GLMMs), a commonly indispensable assumption in settings involving longitudinal non-Gaussian data is that the longitudinal observations from subjects are conditionally independent, given subject-specific random effects. Although conventional Gaussian...

On the Microeconomics of Internal Migration

Spanish Internal Migration

Spanish internal migration has long been resistant to traditional economic explanations. However this paper examines the data from 1999-2006 after considerable changes in the Spanish economy. Moreover it examines migration at the disaggregated level of Spanish provinces rather than regions, the usual unit of measurement. Using a spatial error model as well as a spatial autoregression model it f...

Internal Migration in India

The rate of internal migration in the country has declined upto 1991. However, the figures of 2001 census reveal a reversal in this trend. The increase in the migration rate during 1990s is often viewed as a product of the forces unleashe...
