Age-Specific Outmigration Propensities
These procedures and example files were used for calculating the age-specific outmigration propensities for the states. They are also called conditional survivorships, i.e. Si(x), and they are described in Chapter 4 "Smoothing Age and Spatial Patterns" and Chapter 5 "Imposing Age and Spatial Structures."
