Abstract

Twenty five years after the presentation of the first version of Inverse Projection (IP), the technique, conceived by Ronald Lee, has been utilitised as a powerful and reliable means of studying populations over time when only vital series are available. During this period, other authors have suggested some modifications to the original procedure without changing the basic logic. They have also tried to create more and more precise estimates by overcoming some conceptual and operative limitations found in Inverse Projection.
