Abstract

Populations with periodical re-classifications occur in many fields, such as Insurance Companies, Bank Institutions, Pension Funds, Epidemiology and Health/Disease studies, where population elements are periodically reclassified. We show how to carry out inference for such populations, under general assumptions. Our treatment differs from previous ones since we consider open populations and focus on the sizes of subpopulations, availing ourselves of the Stochastic Vortices theory, see Guerreiro and Mexia (2004) and Guerreiro and Mexia (2008).
