Population Studies And Demography
Statistics: Population is a real or hypothetical totality of objects or individuals under consideration, of which samples are taken for analysis. Population index includes all elements which a researcher wishes to generalize to. Population index includes all members of given class or set. The extent to which a place is populated or inhabited, the collective inhabitants of a country, town, area, a body of inhabitants.

Population index, published in United States. Reference: 1979-; vol 45.
Abstract: The author discusses the increased availability of demographic data stored in
machine-readable files. She describes the types of MRDF produced in the United States,
Canada, Europe, Latin America, and Asia and Oceania. The final section of the paper
presents examples of citations to MRDF.

Trap-induced mass declines in small mammals: mass
as a population index
Pearson, Dean E., Ortega, Yvette K., Ruggiero, Leonard F.
Publisher: Wildlife Society, Publication Name: The Journal of Wildlife Management
Abstract: The article examines the impact of trap-induced body mass declines (TMDs) in
small mammals on the calculation of body-mass-based population indexes.
On Smoothing Trends in Population Index Modeling - Mazzetta, Chiara;
Brooks, Steve; Freeman, Stephen N., Biometrics, Volume 63, Number 4, December 2007.
Abstract: In this article, we consider the U.K. Common Birds Census counts and their use
in monitoring bird abundance. We use a state-space modeling approach within a Bayesian
framework to describe population level trends over time and contribute to the alert system
used by the British Trust for Ornithology.

The population index flood (PIF) method is an analytical model that has been recently
suggested for regional frequency analysis. In this paper, explicit equations based on
Fisher's information are derived for estimating the standard error of at-site quantile
estimators for two regional PIF methods utilizing the generalized extreme value
distribution with maximum likelihood estimation.
A Volcano Population Index for Estimating Relative Risk, Example Data From Central
America - Ewert, J. W. Harpel, C. J.
American Geophysical Union, Fall Meeting 2003.
We have developed a Volcano Population Index (VPI) to make objective comparisons among
individual volcanoes of populations that may be subject to volcanic hazards. We used
volcano location data from the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Program (GVP) with the
LandScan 2001 gridded global population data base from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory
to evaluate population distribution near potentially active volcanoes in Central America.
