Modelling and Simulation for E-social Science: Individual, Household and Communal Establishment Populations, 2001

Generation of individual and household level population data for 2001 census output areas in the United Kingdom (UK) has been undertaken by the Modelling and Simulation for e-Social Science (MoSeS) node of the UK National Centre for e-Social Science.<br> <br> The MoSeS project outlined an approach for creating an individual level demographic model, which involved selecting sets of Samples of Census 2001 Anonymised Records (SARs) to represent aggregate Census Area Statistics (CAS) populations for 2001. This initialised population would then be dynamically modelled or simulated over time. <br> <br> The datasets created by integrating SARS and CAS form this study.<br> <br> Further information is available from the <a href ="http://www.esrc.ac.uk/my-esrc/grants/RES-149-25-0034/read" title="Modelling and Simulation for E-Social Sciences">Modelling and Simulation for E-Social Sciences</a> ESRC Award webpage and the <a href="http://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/people/a.turner/projects/MoSeS/" title="Andy Turner's MoSeS project web page">MoSeS</a> project webpage.<br> <br> Users should note that the Principal Investigators did not have access to non-anonymised census data and that the assignment of OAs is based on statistical analysis using published data and the SARS only.<br>
