DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The United Nations publishes updated estimates and projections of the populations of all the world's countries, broken down by age and sex. These are widely used by international organizations, governments, the private sector and researchers, for example for climate modeling and for assessing progress towards the Millenium Development Goals. The UN's current projections are deterministic, but assessing uncertainty about population estimates and projections is important for policy-making and other purposes. We propose to develop a fully probabilistic population projection methodology. We will develop methods for probabilistic projection of fertility and mortality, taking account of within-country and between-country correlations. We will develop methods for probabilistic projection of international migration. We will develop methods for probabilistic population projections in countries with generalized sexually transmitted infectious disease epidemics, which require special methods because the demographic impact of such diseases is massive and different from most other diseases, being concentrated among the least vulnerable parts of the population, namely young sexually active adults. We will develop methods for reconstructing past populations with uncertainty from fragmentary data. We will produce publicly available software for implementing the new methods.

描述（由申请人提供）：联合国发布了世界各国人口的最新估计和预测，按年龄和性别分类。这些被国际组织、政府、私营部门和研究人员广泛使用，例如用于气候建模和评估千年发展目标的进展。联合国目前的预测是确定性的，但评估人口估计和预测的不确定性对于政策制定和其他目的很重要。我们建议开发一种完全概率的人口预测方法。我们将开发生育率和死亡率概率预测方法，同时考虑国家内部和国家之间的相关性。我们将开发国际移民概率预测方法。我们将制定在性传播传染病普遍流行的国家进行概率人口预测的方法，这需要特殊的方法，因为此类疾病对人口的影响是巨大的，并且与大多数其他疾病不同，集中在人口中最脆弱的部分，即性活跃的年轻成年人。我们将开发从碎片数据中重建具有不确定性的过去种群的方法。我们将制作用于实施新方法的公开软件。
