Siquijor population projection: 1985- 2000 an application of the Leslie matrix model

The Leslie matrix model uses matrices in projecting the population at any future time. The basic system involved is that an arbitrary age distribution may be operated on by a square matrix, under given conditions, of which the first row essentially represents the age-specific fertility while the pri...
