demog-data-analysis

separate

Use when executing and reporting the analysis for a Demography (PAA / Duke University Press) manuscript so it survives expert, double-blind review — correct rate construction, honest uncertainty, and demographic methods done right (life tables, decomposition, event history, age-period-cohort). Guides analysis norms; it does not fabricate results.

When to use

• Constructing rates and life tables
• Running decomposition, event-history, APC, or projection analysis
• Addressing reviewer requests for robustness or sensitivity
• Making analysis reproducible before deposit
• Reporting uncertainty for rates and derived quantities
• Handling survey weights and complex-design variance

When not to use

• Fabricating results
• Choosing research design methods
