Population Estimates and Projections
Faced with the challenge of updating population estimates and projections for 1950–2100 amidst accelerating demographic shifts and complex datasets, I led the project’s methodological and technological development to ensure the accuracy of public policies. I optimized institutional capacity by creating and publishing the popstudy R package on CRAN. This tool automated the processing of administrative records and the implementation of advanced models, such as Lee-Carter for mortality and K-means clustering for functional data analysis.
This intervention not only modernized the institution’s analytical infrastructure but also exponentially increased operational efficiency by migrating critical processes from SPSS to R. The direct impact is seen in the delivery of a robust, comparable methodology that enables continuous monitoring of national demographic dynamics through the year 2100, ensuring high-quality data for the country’s inclusive and sustainable development.
