Methods for estimating population density in data-limited areas: evaluating regression and tree-based models in Peru.
Obtaining accurate small area estimates of population is essential for policy and health planning but is often difficult in countries with limited data. In lieu of available population data, small area estimate models draw information from previous time periods or from similar areas. This study focu...
